“Derek and I got into a writing session and felt like we didn’t want to spend another summer as we had far from people we loved. I arrived at the studio and had one word in mind: “canyon.” We were about to start another wave of the pandemic and I felt so far from human connections. I felt like we were digging a huge canyon and wouldn’t be able to connect physically with each other anymore. I just wanted to get out of this mindset saying, ‘And I won’t chase another dark lonely summer.’ In terms of the instrumentation, I said to Derek, it would be cool to do a four-on-the-floor beat but alternative. To feel a sense of movement, to feel that it was a phase and that we will get out of this deepness. He nailed that one right away.” – Emi Jeen explained

‘Dark Lonely Summer’ contains a relatable narrative, ear-pleasing vocals, and tuneful melodies. The likable tune possesses vibrant instrumentation flavored with an alternative, pop-rock vibration. Furthermore, “Dark Lonely Summer” serves as a tasty appetizer to what listeners can expect to hear from Emi Jeen in the near future.
