Emily Brooks is back with her latest single “Desire,” and it’s nothing short of a soul-baring anthem. This song digs deep into that raw, overwhelming feeling of longing—where desire becomes so intense, it reshapes you, forcing you to face your truest emotions. Brooks, a self-taught singer-songwriter and music producer, knows how to channel these big feelings into hauntingly beautiful melodies, and “Desire” does exactly that.
Teaming up with Matt Chiaravalle for production, Emily takes us on a journey of forbidden love, questioning societal norms while reflecting on the experience of growing up in the church and facing the condemnation of the LGBTQ+ community. She poses the bold question: What if the church didn’t label homosexuality as a sin? Would our world be less violent, more accepting? It’s the kind of deep, introspective thought that sets this song apart from your typical love ballad.
With its rich blend of pop and rock influences from the 60s, 70s, and 90s, “Desire” captures the duality of existence that Emily loves to explore. It’s a track that invites listeners to confront their shadows, embrace their emotions, and maybe even see themselves in a whole new light. Whether you’re dealing with your own desires or just love a song that makes you think, Emily Brooks has delivered something special here.
