Emanuel reflects the moment and time with his therapeutic new EP “Alt Therapy Session 1: Disillusion.”
Perfect timing I would call it, Emanuel decided to debut this project to the world on Juneteenth, a symbolic day in the celebration of freedom and emancipation for all enslaved Blacks in America, immerse yourself in the sights and sounds of love, hope and healing as the world shifts right before our very eyes.”
With each self-penned song on Session 1: Disillusion, Emanuel’s vocals, rich with emotion, unveil his process of coping with a disillusioned portrait of life through alternative therapeutic outlets such as self-reflection, sex, drugs, and relationships. Emanuel progresses towards and ultimately descends into a state of disillusionment as the elation from the hope of meaningful human connection in ‘Need You’ deflates into crushing devastation in ‘Thought It’d Be Easy’ that then coasts into the blurry synthetic high of ‘Addiction’. The EP closes with a divine remix of ‘Need You’, bringing a fresh perspective to Emanuel’s hit debut.
As Emanuel shares in his Artist Manifesto:
“Alt Therapy. It represents so many things. It is healing. Healing for those things in the past that would have us in bondage, in depression, in sadness. Those voices that told us we weren’t important. It’s gratification for the yearning in our hearts to do something great for the people of this world.”
Session 1: Disillusion is the first collection of music Emanuel will share this year, culminating with the release of his debut album ALT THERAPY.
