“Burning Bridges” by EMMMA is the Empowering Pop Cut We Didn’t Know We Needed

EMMMA’s “Burning Bridges” blends emotion, synths, and bold lyricism in her latest alt-pop release.

Alt-pop rising artist EMMMA drops “Burning Bridges,” a single that leans into introspection without losing its edge. With comparisons to artists like Chappell Roan and Phoebe Bridgers, she’s quickly carving her own lane.

The track builds its foundation on moody synth arpeggios that elevate the emotional tension. EMMMA’s vocals glide gently, bringing attention to lyrics that explore both blame and release. The chorus bursts with momentum, echoing the feeling of running from problems—but this time with awareness.

“I’ve definitely been convinced that everything going wrong in my life is my fault… But over the years, I’ve come to realise that it’s actually OK to burn a few bridges – it can be a way of healing.”

Working alongside Ben Wylen and Andrea Rosario, EMMMA again proves her strength lies in crafting personal stories with universal resonance. “Burning Bridges” follows the themes of her debut EP and her recent singles “Cut The Breaks” and “Wednesday’s Child.”

Currently building buzz in the UK alt-pop landscape, EMMMA has already opened for JC Stewart, with momentum continuing to build ahead of her next project.
