Today, Emily Reo has shared "Balloon," the latest single from her upcoming album, Only You Can See It. "Balloon" is the record's most patiently unfolding mini-epic, one bursting with the enormous energy of an expanding heart; an ode to intuition and growth. It's a song that eventually floats upward as Reo's vocals criss-cross like a hypnotic choir-of-one, meditating on navigating multiple relationships, and the necessity of self-reliance as a prerequisite for them.
Listen to the single below!
Noisey, who premiered the song, is calling it "her most vibrant pop song yet. Colorful, buoyant, and unpredictable." Only You Can See It is available for pre-order now and due April 12th via Carpark Records.
Additionally, Emily Reo has announced a spring tour that includes 2 record release shows, one in Los Angeles and one in New York. All dates below.
