Tell us more about your new single ‘Sunrise’…Įmma: “We wrote the song in winter of 2019. NME caught up with MICHELLE to talk about why they chose to be a collective, coming of age on the New York teen music scene, and working on new music during lockdown. Now, they’re continuing this superb project and their latest single ‘Sunrise’, an addictive indie earworm of a tune. They initially thought their creative exploits as MICHELLE would begin and end with ‘HEATWAVE’, but word began to spread, fans amassed, and the band signed with the labels Canvasback in the US and Transgressive Records in the UK. Think of a more relaxed version of alt-rap group Luscious Jackson with ‘90s vocal group style harmonies. Led by the talents of Sofia D’Angelo, Julian Kaufman, Charlie Kilgore, Layla Ku, Emma Lee and Jamee Lockard (the oldest of the gang are only 21), MICHELLE make slick dream-pop with beats that marry with the pounding of the city streets. It only took two weeks, a few calls round to friends on the local music scene, and the lofty ambition to document coming of age in the city for New York collective MICHELLE’s 2018 self-released debut album ‘HEATWAVE’ to come to life.
