Thief
NYC-based singer-songwriter Emily Nicole Green just released, “Thief” which stands as the
third single on her musical career. This track is, in many ways, the most raw and revealing of the 5-songs on Green’s upcoming debut EP, ‘Outrunning The Animal,’ both musically and in terms of letting listeners feel her ache. “Thief” is an Americana ballad that calls on elements of Jazz, Folk, and Pop, resulting in a track that feels timeless and emotionally stirring.
"Thief" is for anyone who has ever been abandoned. It's about the experience of being betrayed or rejected by the person you love the most, but it's also about the realization that two things can be true. I think this is realization many of us don't come to until later in life". - Emily Nicole Green.
