Emanuel Tägil - The Fire-Room

We're all just monkeys wearing suits! YES! With this statement, newcomer Emanuel Tägil paves the way to peace. The likeable Swede balances humor and seriousness like no other.

An invitation to build bridges...

Emanuel Tägil is an experimental singer and songwriter dedicated to the pop genre. The emphasis is on experimental. His style is somewhere between artsy electro pop that flirts with RnB and Broadway. His songs are mysterious, dramatic and always humorous. His voice gentle, melodic and thoughtful.

The Fire-Room is the second of eight singles that will be released in batches over the next few months via Messy Weekend Records. As if he's never heard of missing rows of planes, Tägil releases the single on Friday the 13th. Tough luck is what you make of it. Speaking of airplane rows, the musician wants to fly high.

Because he wants to build bridges, all the way into the sky. He himself says about his song:

”To me The Fire-Room is a song about building bridges between worlds, or in other words, being human. I believe that's ultimately what we are, bridge-builders. I believe that we're both animal and god-like in our nature simultaneously, 'monkeys wearing clothes', and that by simply living out our lives in love, music and parties, we ourselves becomes that bridge reaching from earth to sky.”

What does a song like that sound like? A bit like Pet Shop Boys in a contemporary dance performance. The gentle melody is catchy and allows you to sing along pretty quickly. Music that sticks = check. The polyphonic background choir gives the sound pearl the necessary volume to the light and playful notes in the foreground, allowing Tägil's voice to do its part as a storyteller. Carefully he sings, almost hesitantly. But somehow it fits. Such a cloud castle can easily break, after all.

So quickly roll up your arms and help to build bridges...
