This is one of those tracks that you didn’t even have to listen more than 30 seconds to know that it’s an absolute bop. Emi Wes is undoubtedly sure to take us on a ride to the moon.
The explosive track was co-written with Robin Hannibal (Kendrick Lamar, Rhye…), and it’s undoubtedly one of the most playful and even sassy tracks I have listened to in a while.
“Take Me To The Moon” has that tropically infectious flavour that suits Emi Wes’ raspy and unique voice so well. Creating a rhythmic flirty fantasy that it’s exactly what pop music should sound like, effortlessly perfect.
“The song reminds me of the state I was in at that time I wrote it – Driving up and down Hollywood Hills to go to Robin Hannibal’s house and make songs everyday. Every day was early up and very late to bed and at that time I didn’t get that much sleep. But that period ‘Take Me To The Moon’ was made, was probably also the most playful time I had for years. It was so warm in LA, we went out a lot and I felt very liberated and inspired to play around in the studio.” – Emi Wes.
She continues,” ‘Take Me To The Moon’ is about a very short-lived fling where you just want to have fun while it lasts, feeling confident in your desires, knowing that you have to go soon. Cause you’re too busy.”
