Concert Review: Emily Claman CAN SANG And We Know It
The room for Emily Claman was PACKED at Mercury Lounge, and all were chattering about her voice. Claman is like a blend of 50’s pop with 90’s R&B and modern love. She is like a retro star singing to internet dating and the classic romantic dilemma: WHY CAN’T I LOVE SOMEONE THAT RESPECTS ME!
Looking back at how women are taught about love, from black & white films to Disney, I realize that respect, peace, and kindness are never seen even thought of at the building of a relationship: the focus is on like. Thus, Emily Claman’s nuance as another singer to love is not just in how her voice riffs and crescendos through notes like a woman tussling through her jewelry box to find the diamond piece for the night. Her nuance comes in that she sings to the moment women realize they are in love with a man they don’t like.

I can’t explain loving someone you don’t like, but it, usually, occurs when you don’t like yourself that much or, at least, enough to be alone. Hence, the minute you start liking yourself more, you start liking your partner less. All of Emily’s songs approached the harsh but beautifully freeing epiphany of realizing that a lot of the people you date stem from how you “date” yourself. With her big hair and bigger smiles, she felt like the most charismatic version of your older sis; the one you call at 3AM because you are hating yourself over loving him and, the next day, she takes you out for unlimited mimosas and a Zara run. #YEAHSIS
