“Emily‘s sterling vocals are wistful and beguiling all at once, and the Stoop Kids add a layer of nonchalant coolness to the song that’s hard not to like. The video for Cicadas is an intimate, color-drenched affair in which Emily and her bandmates hang out on empty city streets in vintage rides from late night into the night until the early morning. Those who enjoy sleek neo-soul and soulful indie-pop will find a lot to like here, and ultimately Cicadas is a catchy tune that’s hard not to fall in love with.”
