The latest from Emily Frembgen is a slightly off-kilter Americana song mixed with modern indie pop. "Drink Tonight" has all the twang necessary in an Americana or alt-country song, but Frembgen adds just enough of a modern indie pop twist to keep things interesting. It's a fun song, which is exactly what you'd expect with a song called "Drink Tonight." The song isn't pure Americana, but has the sound of an artist deciding to dabble and deciding they like what they're hearing.
Emily Frembgen says of her latest single:
“Years ago a chef I had just met asked if I knew anybody who played Americana music for 'Americana Monday' at his restaurant which was connected to Knitting Factory in Brooklyn. At the time my music wasn’t what you’d call 'Americana' but I lied and said it was and secured the weekly gig and free fried chicken. I started rediscovering the music I loved in that genre and I wrote 'Drink Tonight' as sort of an anthem, opening the show with it every week. I wrote it one Monday where I was resigned to not drinking but I got in a fight with my boyfriend and decided I would in fact drink on that night.”
You can listen to "Drink Tonight" below. No Hard Feelings is due out September 13 on Don Giovanni Records, and is available for pre-order here. For more on Emily Frembgen, check out the artist on Instagram and Facebook.
