When an artist mentions Phoebe Bridgers as an influence, we often end up featuring their music. It’s funny because we haven’t delved much into Bridgers’ discography ourselves, but here we are, excited to introduce you to Emma Bieniewicz.
If you haven’t already heard her music, now’s the time to dive into her stunning new track, “Tobacco.” It opens with soft, finger-plucked guitar and Bieniewicz’s delicate vocals floating above, almost like a whispered secret. As the piano and slide guitar join in, the track blooms into an indie-folk gem.
Despite its minimal arrangement, “Tobacco” feels full and rich, with no need for percussion. Bieniewicz’s layered vocals and the subtle rhythm of the guitar give it life. Even with its melancholic tones, listening to this song feels like a quiet celebration of being alive.
