Emily Jackson sparks the night with “Ends Of The Earth”

Emily Jackson kicks off her new era with “Ends Of The Earth,” a track that serves as a full-throttle dive into the shiny, electric core of 80s pop. The track DJs from the first note to announce as much, it’s a battle plan. This is Jackson stepping out with urgency and a purpose.

 

The engine for the song is a coursing bassline that fishtails everything forward, and driving guitar work shoves the energy into an exciting sprint. It moves with the urgency of a wave, the burst of up-tempo verse leading to a tidal-hooked chorus that feels radiant as it pressurizes, like shining a bright, siren-red neon straight into the listener’s eyes. Jackson’s vocal performance sits atop it all with a commanding part, daring, part hopeful.

What really makes “Ends Of The Earth” stand out, though, is the passion beneath its dancefloor brilliance. Jackson is doing more than just making a pop anthem here, she’s offering a brief personal meditation on the sacrifices and hardships of pursuing a dream. In her own words, the song was borne of unvarnished introspection about career direction, sacrifice, and the price of chasing ambition, particularly as a woman. But instead of arriving weighted down by bitterness, 

it’s a celebration of resilience, dedicated to her friends, her mother, her sisters, and everyone moving forward together. “Ends Of The Earth” is a driving introduction from an up-and-coming artist who knows exactly what she wants and is determined to get it. If this is the start of her 2020 E.P. to come, Emily Jackson already knows how to get us ready and show that she may be here to stay.
