Au/Ra has shared her new single ‘Emoji’, fresh from her storming success with CamelPhat on ‘Panic Room‘.
Speaking about the modern-day struggles of dating in an emoji-obsessed virtual world, the singer says “Sometimes it’s easier and safer to stay living in a fantasy than face reality. Emoji to me, is about an online relationship/friendship where someone is afraid to show the other person who they really are – in fear of disappointing them and ruining the illusion. Or vice versa, where someone is afraid to find out who the other person is. It’s a lighthearted titled paired with a dark underlying message about today’s complicated world of texting and online communication.”
