"Underflow" is a song by Australian singer Emma Louise, released on 7 November 2015 as the lead single from Emma Louise's second studio album Supercry.
Emma Louise said "I wrote 'Underflow' about a feeling of knowing that a change is about to come. This feeling was bubbling up inside me. I knew that with the change would be both good and bad things. It’s about moving forward and accepting change. Whether it be the end of a relationship or the start of another exciting journey."[1]
The song placed second at the 2016 Vanda & Young Global Songwriting Competition.[2]
Music video
[edit]The music video premiered on 14 December 2015.[3] Shot by Dylan Duclos, who said "Working with Emma was great. To collaborate with an artist who has such a clear direction in terms of her aesthetic and image was really cool and proved such a smooth process."[4]
Reception
[edit]The Music said "[it] is an atmospheric, almost-haunting composition, at once both lush and starkly minimal, with the lyrics and music having come from a demonstrably personal place".[5]
Lauren Ziegler from Indie Shuffle called the song "stunning" and "heartbreaking" saying "The instrumental layers see delicate, muffled piano trickles meeting an ambient, emotive soundscape. There's a real delicacy, a real vulnerability in Louise's breathy voice - I feel immediately, wholly enveloped by her melody and her lyrics. I'm hooked."[6]
