Decisions is the second single from the upcoming new album ICON from Sweden's Electro/EBM Queen EMMON, following her success on the award-winning comeback album RECON from 2022.
The upcoming album ICON will be released the 17th of October and rises in the footsteps of RECON a continued exploration of humanity's raw brutality. Her melodious EBM/electro sound became a bit harder and rawer with a touch of finesse and includes some collaborations with other artist such as Majestoluxe, Jukka Rintamäki (Silverbullit, The Northern East), Person:A and once again Emanuel Åström (Agent Side Grinder).
Emma: “Since the latest release 2022, I’ve basically been on tour, and the stage has become my obvious habitat. Together with my co-producer and partner Jimmy Monell (producer for, among others, KITE on Ice), we’ve developed the music to be more energy-driven – something that gives both us and the audience a serious kick on stage”
Decisions marks the second single from EMMON’s highly anticipated upcoming album ICON — an electrifying, EBM-driven anthem powered by a massive pop chorus that, in Emma’s own words, "breaks rocks".
Emma shares:
“Decisions was one of the very first tracks we created for the new album, and it has largely remained in its original form since the day we wrote it — except for some added tonal percussion created in collaboration with Jukka Rintamäki (Silverbullit, The Northern East). We even kept the vocals from the original demo recordings.”
Lyrically, the track tells the story of a high-achieving perfectionist who seizes every chance to reach a higher level, yet remains unable to make the crucial calls that matter most — creating a frozen, status quo moment. As Emma puts it:
“You try to light the fire but never let it burn.”
With its relentless energy and razor-sharp hooks, Decisions stands as one of the most striking previews yet of what ICON has in store.
Upcoming Shows:
In celebration of the release of ICON, EMMON will host two special release parties:
October 17 – Skeppet, Gothenburg – with special guests, the French darkwave duo Denuit
October 18 – Klubb Död, Stockholm – alongside Denuit and British electro artist Nights in Athens
This autumn, EMMON will also headline a series of shows in Germany before continuing her club and festival tour across Scandinavia and Europe throughout 2026/2027.
