New York-based singer-songwriter Emily James has announced her upcoming project 'Summer Nostalgia', a six-track collection that explores memory, first love, and the places that shape who we become. Told through a lens of longing and reflection, the EP captures the emotional weight of revisiting a high school romance years later—when time has passed, but the feelings remain vivid.
James offers the first chapter of this coming-of-age narrative with new single 'Suburbia', a dreamy, introspective track that sets the tone for the story to unfold. “Cause in my mind, it’s glorified… does it have a hold on you?” she sings, caught between what was real and what memory has made softer, sweeter. Built around lush, romantic production, 'Suburbia' feels like flipping through an old yearbook—warm, hazy, and tinged with what-if.
The accompanying music video brings the song’s story to life with intimate visuals of innocent romance and quiet moments that linger in the mind. James plays the narrator, retracing memories that shaped the relationship, emphasising the beauty of the small, unspoken moments that stay with us the longest.
