Singer-songwriter and producer Emland captures the pain of failed love in his second single, Better off without me.
Emland – Better Off Without Me
Born and raised in Germany and now living in Mallorca, Spain, Emland is a true embodiment of the DIY artist, handling every aspect of his music—writing, arranging, producing, and performing entirely on his own. His passion for music, combined with a wide range of influences, has driven him to experiment from a young age, ultimately shaping his distinct pop-focused sound.
In his teenage years, the piano became more than just an instrument for Emland—it became an emotional outlet during a difficult period, allowing him to channel his feelings and take a fresh approach to music that expanded his creativity in new and diverse directions.
Emland’s talent for crafting pop shines through in his latest track, Better Off Without Me, which draws inspiration from a deeply personal chapter of his life. Reflecting on the meaning behind the song, Emland explains:
“Better off without me is a very personal song – a song that I wrote after knowing someone that could have become a very important person in my life, but that ultimately didn’t because of the situation I was going through at that moment. I just had finished a relationship that left me absolutely heartbroken and empty. Now this other person had everything I had ever wished for, but I was just not able to put in the energy that I had to to make that story grow, to make it happen.”
Despite the heartache conveyed in the lyrics, the production of this track masterfully blends catchy melodies with raw emotion. Vibrant layers and textures create a deeply emotional soundscape, enhanced by infectious beats and vocal effects. The result is a song that doubles as a summer pop anthem and a thoughtful exploration of a relationship.
“Better off without me excels with its irresistible production and deeply heartfelt songwriting.”
Better Off Without Me is the second single from Emland’s upcoming debut album, EVOLVE, slated for release in the latter half of 2025. Emland describes the album as a concept record that will offer a personal exploration of his views on love.
