We’ve all seen (or at least painfully imagined seeing) ‘the one that got away’ having fun with someone else. Hopefully some part of you was happy for them, maybe you were simply jealous – regardless, there’s no denying it’s an emotional cascade of a moment.
Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Emily Weisband has crafted a flawless pop dirge for just those kind of moments: “Psychopath”. Indeed, her upcoming EP, I Call It Being Human, is generally an exploration of deeply human, often awkward moments of weakness, shame, and pain.
Regarding “Psychopath”, Weisband explains, “‘Psychopath’ is really the driving force behind the theme of this project. I had just started dating my current boyfriend and I saw on Instagram that my ex before him got engaged. My boyfriend could tell I was in a funk and said, ‘well of course you feel weird about your ex being engaged, you’re not a psychopath!’ I remember it being such a freeing moment for me. The way I see it, the world will call you dramatic, crazy, extra, too much, unstable, amongst other things for your emotions… but I call it being human.“

The I Call It Being Human EP comes out on April 2 via Warner. You can find Emily on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.
