Barrett Delivers Masterful Debut EP ‘Quit Dreaming’
Barrett unveils their polished debut EP, Quit Dreaming. This compilation of tracks showcases their unwavering dedication to their craft while emerging the band into extraordinary new artistic heights.
The band’s flexibility as musicians is demonstrated by their self-titled genre, “skatepark pop,” which is inspired by bands like The Killers and Paramore. The band never fails to enthral listeners with their inventive atmosphere and well-crafted songs.
Throughout the four tracks, Quit Dreaming, transports listeners to the epicentre of alternative rock and pop-punk, while offering various soundscapes with rhythmic precision.
Experience the incredible genre-bending on, Quit Dreaming, where the only thing that stays the same is the thrilling change, which surely creates a sound unlike anything heard before.
“‘Quit Dreaming’ is about redefining pop/punk for a new home-studio generation. With this project, we want to launch a new wave of early 2000’s nostalgia. We hope that these songs grab the hand of Gen-Z-ers journeying through adulthood.”
EMEREE doesn’t just make music—she curates moments. Her latest single “Eyesore” is a cinematic, sarcastic scorcher that sets a new tone for the rising Australian powerhouse. From the candy-coated production to the horror-tinged DIY music video, EMEREE is creating her own genre: camp pop noir.
The single is a masterclass in balancing artistry with attitude. Co-created with Christian Tjandrawinata, “Eyesore” proves EMEREE isn’t here to play safe. She plays sharp, with razor-lined harmonies and lyricism that stabs with a smile. It’s not just catchy—it’s calculated. The beat bounces, the vocals glide, but it’s the burn in the lines that lingers.
Visually, EMEREE doubles down. The music video is a bloody wink to 80s slasher films, with a narrative as satirical as it is symbolic. She doesn’t just kill her ex on screen—she kills the whole trope. Pop stars often tell stories of heartbreak. EMEREE turns it into performance art.
EMEREE says, “Eyesore” is the anthem for anyone who’s ever dated someone who treated them horribly and just wasn’t hot enough to get away with it.”
EMEREE is making noise for all the right reasons—and with creative backing from CAA and sessions alongside Nile Rodgers and Invisible Men, she’s not just rising. She’s plotting her pop empire. “Eyesore” is both a warning shot and a love letter to anyone who’s ever made revenge their aesthetic.
It’s the start of something bold—and we’re already obsessed.
