Emperors share stunning debut single & video for "We Are The Emperors"
Officially released on April 1st, 2021, Emperors have just shared their debut single (and music video) for “We Are The Emperors”. We are absolutely thrilled with it! Read along with us as we share our complete thoughts on the track, in addition to a background on the band.
Consisting of singer songwriter Stephen “Cassandra” Eyre, producer and songwriter Jankovsky, and beatmaker producer Serxho, Emperors are a three-piece electro pop project who have just put forth their rocking debut single. Paired with a music video to capture the essence of “We Are The Emperors”, the project has come hot off the gate and they’ve truly stuck their landing.
Produced by legendary bassist Martin “Youth” Glover (Killing Joke, Pink Floyd), this group of unbelievably talented musicians have come together for a whopping single that has immediately taken us by hold. Before we get into the song though, we’ve love to give a background on the music video as well, in which we highly recommend watching. The video was directed by Joseph Wilson and storyboarded in collaboration. It depicts all of Emperors’ genderfluid friends who are on the East London performing scene. They initially wanted to juxtapose the old architecture of the new with futuristic shamanic clothing, to create a sense of reflecting on the past, but gazing out into the possibilities of the future as the hope for gender expression, shifting political landscapes, technology and spirituality galvanizing into motion and catapulting into the future!
As for the song, well listening to it over and over at this point has quickly let us know that Emperors in its own are going to be up to big things in the coming months and years. As mentioned, they’ve really struck gold on this debut single and with the co-release of the music video, they’ve brought true colors to what are the best moments of the song. It feels that all too often music videos are an afterthought, however in this case it brings the true meanings and elements to what we loved so much on the track.
The best part of having a band full of talent coming your way at an early point in their career is that you’ll have the opportunity to watch them grow, evolutionize, and release their soon to be best tracks. In this case though, we can confidently say that this is a group of musicians we’ll be listening to for plenty of time to come. “We Are The Emperors” has impressed us to the point where we’ll happily consider ourselves fans.
For all the electro pop lovers out there, this one is 100% for you. Even if this isn’t particular a style you’re familiar with or interested in, there’s still plenty of redeemable qualities that will get you into it! So with that being said, we’ve provided all the necessary information below in order for you to get started on your fandom with Emperors. Enjoy!
