The electro pop / synth pop song 'Emulator' by US artist 'Hush Bewlay' is a fantastic sounding, fresh song from his first EP "I'm A Stranger Here Myself". Sonically, as well as in terms of mood, I like 'Emulator' the best on the current EP. The song has a pleasant mid-tempo and nice warm sounding synthesizer sounds that send melancholic melodies over the aether. The vocals of 'Hush Bewlay' are soothing, melodious and super harmonious with the song. There is also nothing to complain about in the production. For a debut, it sounds highly professional.
Besides 'Emulator', I would like to recommend the opener 'Stranger'. This is also a fantastic synth pop song and also has a touch of 80s nostalgia. The other two songs on the EP "I'm A Stranger Here Myself" are also good, but not really our genre. Here we oscillate somewhere between commercial pop / rock / 90s indie pop.
It's definitely worth listening to. 'Hush Bewlay' is without a doubt a talented artist with a wide musical range. I hope we will hear more, especially electronic, songs in the future.

Lyrics of 'Hush Bewlay – Emulator'
Stretching from the hello to the handshake
Everything about me was a lie
Any shape I bend myself in
Trying to be useful
You never know you're wrong until you try
It's my job to pretend
Thank you, Emulator
Talking up a world of brilliant color
Everything around me going pale
Smiling through my teeth
Can you hear my heartbeat
You expect the best
Then you expect to fail
It's that feeling again
Thank you
It's my job to pretend
It's my job to pretend
Thank you, Emulator
That's the funny thing about escape
You can offer it to anyone
And it's one thing that they won't take
You become what you've been running from
It's my job to pretend
Thank you, Emulator
Welcome to the party
This is progress
Catching my words hang
At every scene
Hello celebration
We crawl into conversation
Underneath the sound of machines
Does this make me a friend
Let's play instigator
It's my job to pretend
It's my job to pretend
It's my job to pretend
It's my job to pretend
Thank you, Emulator
Hush Bewlay about 'Emulator'
The song was written about my personal social anxiety, but it can apply to all of our reliance on filters and technology as go-betweens in our everyday life. Danceable anxiety?
