New single ‘Transparent Skin’ from indie/alt-rock band Emma & The Fragments releasing 21st May via Regent Street Records

Reality shows are televised to the masses, yet for many they’re watched in secret…  a guilty pleasure if you will!

Millions of people tune in as every notion of privacy is lost with intimate moments broadcast into their homes for the purpose of entertainment.

What happens when things turn bad and you feel betrayed? You’ve been cheated on in front of the nation & your heartbreak, humiliation is there for all to see.

Totally exposed, emotions transparent and there’s nowhere to hide…

‘I have transparent skin, hiding nothing. I have transparent skin, I let everything in’

Drawing from experiences of unrequited love, relationships where despite knowing your feelings are not reciprocated you still return for more heartbreak, pretending you don’t care about the pain so you can be more cavalier with your feelings.

‘Making the same mistakes,is life on repeat? 

Brimming with regret, knowing I’ve learnt nothing new’

Although the song is initially quite melancholy, there is also an evolution and a sense of renewed hope by the end; ‘I am stronger, with each impact, I’ll evolve and escape your play act’.

Emma & The Fragments new single ‘Transparent Skin’ released via Regent Street Records on 21st May 2024 & is taken from their 4th studio EP ‘Beneath the Polite Surface’
