ON THE RISE
New York City, NY - Emily Ryan grew up around music. Falling in love with it as a child, she pursued it in a variety of avenues from middle school through college, collecting accolades and awards as she went. From a young age she knew that she was destined to create, and now she is putting that passion into full swing. On January 13, 2023, she released her debut album, Emily’s Party and has only been gaining traction since.
Emily’s Party is an album inspired by life. “I know that may sound a little cheesy,” Ryan said. “But it’s true. This album is about living your life and doing what you want to do, no matter what other people think.” The project focuses heavily on following your passions and going after what you want, even if it may seem a little crazy.
The album features 12 incredible tracks, each with their own spin on a Bluesy Pop-Rock sound. Songs like “Groupie” provide a fun, easy to dance to feel that will lift your spirits, while other tracks like “I’m Sorry Mama” dive deeper into her Blues roots.
One particular track that you will want to keep an eye out for is “Be Mad”. The second song that Ryan put together for the project, she labels it as a catalyst for the album really taking off. It was inspired by a conversation she had in the studio where she decided to stop worrying about what others had to say about her. “‘Be Mad’ is really a feel good song to me,” she explained. “It’s about not caring what other people think of you. Just let them be mad.”
Like many of Ryan’s songs, “Be Mad” is an empowering track that inspires her listeners to pursue the things that truly bring them joy, despite what others may say or think about it. “I want to be an artist that provides an escape for my listeners,” Ryan said. “People should be able to come to me and my music to feel good and have fun.”
Following the release of Emily’s Party, Ryan is looking forward to the future release of some exciting music videos, like the one for “Be Mad”, as well as some upcoming songs and features. You can also keep an eye out for upcoming performances as she dives into the 2023 year.
“I’m excited for what there is to come,” Ryan said. “I hope that you all are too.”

NETHERLANDS — August 26, 2026 — Brook Lynn is stepping into a new chapter with “Love Your Enemy,” an atmospheric alternative pop song that turns an intensely personal battle with anxiety into a message of self-acceptance. Written after her America’s Got Talent auditions, the song captures the internal conflict of facing the person who can be hardest to silence: yourself.
Built around cinematic production and emotionally restrained vocals, “Love Your Enemy” explores the disconnect between appearing fine in public and confronting difficult thoughts in private. The song’s central message is reflected in its chorus, where Brook Lynn sings about being “my own worst company” before arriving at its most hopeful realization: “They say, ‘Love your enemy,’ / So I’m learning how to love me.”
For Brook Lynn, that “enemy” is anxiety. Rather than presenting it as something that simply disappears, the song examines what it means to live with those thoughts while refusing to let them dictate what comes next.
“I always want to give a hopeful message in every song,” Brook Lynn explains. “I always first want to explain what is happening in your head and what you feel, and then, at the end, give a message that you can get out of this, and that anxiety doesn’t have to hold you back from all the things you want to achieve in your life.”
That message became especially significant when Brook Lynn made the decision to perform “Love Your Enemy” on America’s Got Talent. Known by many viewers for her stripped-back cover performances, she recognized that performing an original song on one of television’s biggest stages carried a different kind of risk. But she also knew she could not continue forward without showing audiences the artist behind the covers.
“I just thought it was really important to also show the world that I’m not just a cover singer,” she says. “I do want people to know that I write songs and I want to be an artist and put that out there.”
Brook Lynn performed “Love Your Enemy” during the America’s Got Talent quarterfinals, bringing the song’s story of anxiety and self-doubt directly to a massive live audience. Her journey on the show ended there, but the response made one thing clear: listeners wanted to hear more. Fans connected not only with her voice, but with the honesty behind the performance and the willingness to speak openly about emotions many people struggle to acknowledge themselves.
“I do want to be that person with my music as well for other people,” Brook Lynn says, describing her desire to write about real experiences and feelings. “I always want to be really real with everyone, like talk about deeper stuff, not surface level.”
“Love Your Enemy” arrives as Brook Lynn looks ahead to Tales From The Woods, an upcoming EP intended to introduce listeners to a broader picture of who she is as an artist. With only two original songs currently released, she says she is excited to share more music and continue developing the sound and emotional world introduced through “Love Your Enemy.”
The song is not a conclusion to Brook Lynn’s story. It is the beginning of a more open one—one where anxiety can be acknowledged without being allowed to take control, and where the feelings people are often afraid to say out loud can finally have a voice.
Listen to “Love Your Enemy,” which received promotional support from Starlight PR.
Brook Lynn creates music that feels intimate yet powerful, cinematic yet emotionally exposed. Blending atmospheric alternative pop with minimalist visual storytelling, her work explores vulnerability, isolation, emotional tension and human connection through a distinctly modern lens.
Raised in Wilp, a small town in the Netherlands, Brook Lynn grew up surrounded by silence, nature and isolation. Music became a private emotional outlet and a way to process feelings that were difficult to explain out loud. What began through stripped-back online performances evolved into a growing global audience drawn to her honesty and emotional depth.
For Brook Lynn, music is never just about being heard. It is about being understood.
