[PREMIERE] Know You & Emily Davina release 'Alone With You', stream it here

September 25, 2021 by Gems Secrets in Electronic

Listen to this song in our official Spotify playlist: 

‘Discovering The Undiscovered’

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

Today we’re sharing the premiere of Know You & Emily Davina’s ‘Alone With You’. This electronic, future bass inspired record introduces hypnotic vocals, fluttery synths, and punchy 808s. We love the sound palette, the colorful textures, and the lyrics from start to finish.

Alone With You is about a feeling of isolation even when surrounded by people. It was written throughout one of the toughest periods of my life mentally and through a time afterwards of self-reflection. The song followed me through that process. Looking back to view it as an escape but also as a journal of my mind during that time. — Know You

‘Alone With You’ marks the first single of Know You’s highly anticipated EP titled ‘CAUSE’ — set for release November 26th. Check out the new song for yourself and be sure to let us know what you think. Don’t forget to connect with Know You online to stay up to date and enjoy!
