about

Berlin producer Emma Kollmorgen joins the Kompakt family with “You Are The”, her debut solo single and a paean to the uncertainty and unpredictability of love. Slowly enveloping, the song is an artfully built electro-pop hymn capturing “that feeling when you meet someone special and every sane fiber in your body spins out of control”, Kollmorgen says. Gracefully paced, “You Are The” shades in its lines with a push-pull tension that resolves, over its five minutes, to lushness.

There is not much known about Kollmorgen. Born and raised in Berlin, she spent her early years moving in and out of music – learning piano, teaching herself guitar, joining some bands, but it “never felt right”, she recalls. “(I) wanted to find my own sound and be more independent, write songs.” Attending a course to learn the basics of producing, some live performances followed, but generally Kollmorgen kept things low to the ground. A perfectionist by design, she’s also a risk-taker: “(I) love to create my own sounds – field recordings – trial and error – chopping, listening, looping…”

Kollmorgen was introduced to Kompakt by Patrice Baumel, who also supplies a beautiful remix of “You Are The”, taking the original’s late-nite melancholy out on the floor, with rolling waves of drone underpinning a steely, insistent rhythm. For Kollmorgen, though, this is just the start – there’s more to come as she patiently chips away at more songs: “I am still discovering new things while writing or singing and still want to dig deeper,” she reflects. And you can hear that depth in the emotional undercurrents that wash through “You Are The”, possessed as it is with a quiet, perceptive intensity. Perhaps Kollmorgen sums it up best herself: “Love is scary as fuck!”
