Alt-rock singer/songwriter EMA has unveiled the video to new track ‘Take One Two’.
The song is available to download now, with all proceeds going to anti-bullying charity The Jamie Isaacs Foundation, working to bring youth advocates into US schools and pass anti-bullying legislation.
The video features real-life footage of EMA, aka Erika M. Anderson, as a teen in the mid-’90s, along with her high school friends – Anderson explains:
“When I look back now at our fresh young faces (yes that is me with the short dark hair and cat-eye liner), I’m amazed at how simply happy we all look. This is especially remarkable as I know what was going on outside those plywood walls: getting called names, shoved into lockers, and threatening to get our asses kicked for being queer or punk or just plain weird.
“But despite all that, there is a joy, strength and self-acceptance in our faces that I find inspiring and wanted to pass on… This one’s for all the weirdoes out there.”
