Emily Morrone is authentic. Her new EP 'My Way,' out TODAY, is the perfect example of her own personal evolution in music. Released to coincide with her live performance at Bloomington PRIDE, 'My Way,' a 7-track EP, puts on display an extensive amount of growth since April alone; her last EP, 'Blooming,' was released just 4 months ago. But 'My Way' showcases a new passion for this young alternative pop vocalist; live looping, as a one-woman band. This record, compared to her last, switches from an acoustic-driven singer-songwriter persona to an upfront alt pop-R&B-synth-based mixture, one that's all her own (literally), as he brings these songs to life in her live performances, which feature a MIDI keyboard, her acoustic guitar, and her voice, all looped through a simple pedal. Her transformation came naturally as she continued to expand her knowledge on the software program Logic, but with 'My Way,' she successfully translates her live performances to recorded tracks, giving listeners a collection of tracks that perfectly exemplify who Emily Morrone is as an artist now. About the release of 'My Way,'
