Empara Mi Smells Blood In The Water

Avant-garde artist Empara Mi has shared the captivating video for her latest single, ‘Blood In The Water’. The video is a visual representation of a pre-breakup mental state symbolising phases of love, argument, and fighting amid vibrant allegory. “The video is the journey of the breakup,” says Empara Mi. “It begins in a dreamlike state where everything feels safe, but suddenly you can’t control the involuntary warnings flooding your brain. Slowly the walls begin to crack and the other person’s colours start to show.”

“I feel like everyone acts out the end of a relationship in their heads before it happens. Maybe as a coping mechanism; to prepare ourselves for the worst and to see how we will take it. This video was meant to capture that mental snapshot, the beginning of the end and all the fighting and anxieties that come with it.”

‘Blood In The Water’ follows the recent release of ‘Crying’, the highly intoxicating introduction to the vision of Empara Mi in 2019. Released alongside a stunning video inspired by Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo + Juliet, and produced by Lemonthebeat, ‘Crying’ was the first taste of her captivating blend of pop, R&B and hip-hop as well as her striking visual aesthetic.

‘Crying’ lead the likes of Wonderland Magazine to say, “Otherworldly is an accurate adjective that could be used to describe Guernsey-born enigma Empara Mi. Her cutting blend of pop, R&B and hip-hop sears like a burn, sometimes ghostly, sometimes a hurtling force of nature – but always a striking sonic and visual blast.”

Since emerging in 2016 with her critically acclaimed debut single ‘Wanderlust’, Empara Mi has since gone on to clock up almost 3 million streams on Spotify alone, while she has also collaborated with Kojey Radical on her track ‘Spoon’. With an uncompromising vision for her magnificent post pop, Empara Mi has returned and 2019 heralds the unfolding of her dramatic, ambitious and emotional musical direction.
