Chicago singer, songwriter, and producer Carlile has officially released her latest single, “What Hurt Me The Most” with an accompanying visualizer - watch here. The new release comes as the third song from her upcoming debut album, Human Human, slated for release August 30th via Chicago based label mainstay Sooper Records. A full-hearted and inexhaustibly generous pop treasure, Human Human radiates with the joy of unfettered self-acceptance -- and all the awkward, terrifying moments of surrender it takes to get to a place where you can finally fall in love with your own beautiful mess. An unselfconsciously playful and thrilling work of synth-pop, Human Human recalls the warmth of Robyn and the luster of MUNA in its bold, sweeping arcs. This is an album that savors the pleasure of splashing a full rainbow of feeling against the wall. “What Hurt Me The Most” highlights Carlile’s sincere and intimate songwriting ability as she addresses the self-anguish experienced from previous heartbreak. Raw and heavy hearted lyrics compliment the track’s 80’s influenced synth lead and rolling bassline to deliver an emotional and reflective synth-pop ballad. About the track, Carlile says: "What Hurt Me The Most" is an ode to staying when you know you should leave and the self forgiveness that follows.” |
Carlile is the middle name and performance alias of Emily Nichols, a longtime figure in Chicago's thriving underground music ecosystem. Over the past decade, she's issued a streak of glossy synthpop EPs while performing at storied venues and opening for big name indie artists. On Human Human Nichols focused on expanding her production skills, a step that allowed her the freedom to realize her songs from spark to execution, down to the last details. "Prior to this album, I took a back seat role for production. These were the first songs where I was leading the charge," she says. Nichols worked with longtime collaborator Noam Wallenberg to crystallize the demos she had been recording. Together, Nichols and Wallenberg drew out the brightness that rings across Human Human, spangling songs like "Illusion" with delicate vocal accents and sowing layers upon layers of freewheeling harmonies into "Fake Nice." The album features production contributions from a noteworthy list of Chicago artists including Neal Francis, Luke Titus, Macie Stewart (of Finom), and Cocojoey. |
