In a recent interview, Emma discusses her pre-podcast routine, admitting that she gets quite nervous before recording. To calm her nerves and uplift her spirits, she turns to the music of artists like Doechii, Doja Cat, and SZA, particularly enjoying the empowering message of Doechii’s collaboration with SZA in the song 'Girl, get up.' This track resonates with her as it promotes confidence and self-acceptance, themes she embraces while riding the S-train, reflecting on her journey as a woman.

Emma also reveals that she has recently revisited her favorite songs from Kehlani, noting the importance of these tracks in shaping her self-identity as a woman. She cites 'Folded' and 'You Know Wassup' as songs she listens to on repeat, which evoke memories of her earlier years when she felt submissive towards men. During that time, she often prioritized their opinions over her own well-being. However, as she grew older and listened to powerful female artists like Kehlani, Amy Winehouse, and Lana Del Rey, she gained a sense of empowerment and self-worth.

The impact of these artists on Emma's life highlights the broader theme of female empowerment in music, as she acknowledges how vital it is for women to recognize their own value and resist societal pressures. In her view, songs that resonate with strength and self-assurance are essential for cultivating confidence not just in herself but among women in general, particularly in the context of an industry that is often dominated by male perspectives.
