Already garnering an online following and millions of streams on multiple one-off singles, including the cutthroat kiss-off "Dead 2 Me," it seems as if there is nowhere to go but up for rising pop queen Emily Vaughn. After showing her more vulnerable side on "Pieces," the singer strikes back stronger than ever with the straightforward "Bitch" - a take-back-your-crown sort of anthem. Explains Emily, "'Bitch' is about reclaiming your power after you've gotten out of a toxic relationship and the person that you were dating decides to call you a 'bitch' or 'crazy.'" It's the sonic equivalent of the classic movie scene - the confident slo-mo strut with a burning building in the background.
With inevitable comparisons to dominating pop artists like Billie Eilish and "thank u, next"-era Ariana, Vaughn's critical confidence and searing one-liners balance out with her authenticity and self-taught ability to hit the notes and craft a hook: bad bitch pop opulence meets authentically raw talent. Keep your eyes on Emily Vaughn - more biting bops to come.
