When it comes to fragility there may be nothing more delicate than a relationship stuck at a crossroads; the easiest move is to just give up. Los Angeles singer+songwriter Lou Emery takes on the notion with her latest listen “House of Cards.”

Anthemic in all ways possible, the pop-rock cut combines bustling layers of synth, electrifying riffs, and an uncommon cadence to create this deafening rush of sound and statement. It’s in that pull between control and chaos that the track finds its true nature. The soloist explains:

“The chorus can fall apart just as easily as that house of cards. It’s like both sonically and lyrically, we’re standing on this precipice.”

Which way do you choose?
