Quotes
[edit]- Music is like food. It is necessary for me to stay alive. It is a fundamental part of being a human being. It is sustenance, full of different flavors, full of culture and beauty... I also just really love food, so, this is my analogy, I guess.
- Champaign-Urbana Smile Politely, 2016

Song lyrics
[edit]- Men will tell you what you are

They give you their names- "Boys" (Another Angry Woman; 2016)

Right out under the midday sun

How I’ll never make a sound
How he’s waiting around the corner- "Sidewalk Devil" (Another Angry Woman; 2016)

The games I love to play
I know I shouldn't say
It's burning up my time- "Rico Acid" (Blackberries // Rico Acid; 2017)

And oh, I'm willing to get it just right for you

You bow down!- "Trump." (single, 2020)
About Emily Blue
[edit]- "I can’t think of anyone more suited for Eurovision. She’s an LGBT artist, an absolute live performance beast, she’s drop-dead gorgeous, and her ever-changing genre-defying music would totally speak to all sub-fandoms. She’s made of the same material as Eurovision winners."
- Wiwibloggs on Emily Blue, 2020. [citation needed]
