Emma Harner - "False Alarm"

Originally from Lincoln, Nebraska and now based in Boston, Emma Harner has a brand new single out. "False Alarm" fits into the folk and singer-songwriter categories with a lean towards pop, but the single is so much more than that. The song has a surprising complexity to it while being a truly beautiful song about homesickness. The Berklee School of Music student uses a fingerpicked guitar style that instantly grabs you, along with her gentle and intimate vocals. "False Alarm" can be enjoyed for its complexity as well as just being a pleasant and enjoyable song. Not many songs can appeal to both die hard music fans and those that just want something nice, but Harmer pulls it off adeptly.

Emma Harner says of her new single:

"'False Alarm' is a song about homesickness. I wrote it after moving from Nebraska to Boston for college. I was homesick, overwhelmed by the sensory chaos of the city, and learning how to trust again."
