22-year-old rock artist Emi Grace has released “Heart In A Cage,” the first single from her upcoming debut EP, out this summer. This hard-hitting track describes a pivotal moment of recognition when the singer ultimately realized she was the one who held the power to escape from a toxic relationship. Emi Grace turns the page from her previous pop/dance sound to making her presence known in the rock world with “Heart In A Cage,” now available to stream and download via her label, Platoon.

Produced by Matt Squire (Panic! At The Disco, Simple Plan, All Time Low) and written alongside Kanner (Katy Perry, Blackbear, Set It Off), this single sets the tone for Emi Grace’s debut EP with a new sound that is sure to captivate audiences while still showcasing her guitar skills. From start to finish, “Heart In A Cage” is a rollercoaster, both musically and emotionally. Sonically, the track’s foundation lies in Emi Grace’s driving guitar riff that drives the entire story forward. At the core of the single is a punchy electric solo that’s accompanied by Grace’s rich vocals. With lyrics like, “I got your heart in a cage / I hear you screaming my name / Baby make no mistake / I’ll look the other way…,” and, “I know that it’s a little twisted to let you feel the things I don’t / But baby I just can’t resist it you really should’ve known…,” Grace takes listeners on a journey through the ups and downs of one-sided relationship, as they hear in real time how she gains back control of herself.

Emi Grace was raised in Southern California and eventually made her way to Los Angeles, where she currently resides, to further pursue her musical journey. She has pulled from numerous influences, such as Tom Morello, No Doubt, and Van Halen, blending rock, electronic, and guitar elements to craft her unique sound. Founder of “Trashy Tone Thursday,” weekly social media snippets of the singer jamming out and freestyling on the guitar, Grace’s talent has helped her garner millions of views and build a name for herself as a musician. Her head-banging riffs have landed her praise from Guitar World Magazine, Guitar Girl Magazine, and more. Additionally, the artist has opened for the Fitz & the Tantrums, Winnetka Bowling League, and K.Flay as well as performed shows at School Night, Red Rocks Amphitheatre alongside it’s murph, and The Troubadour.
