Listen To This: Every Once In A While

Filed under: Listen To This > Emmy Rossum

emmy.jpg

We're always a bit worried when an actor attempts to "transition" into the music world, but Emmy Rossum is the real deal!

She has released an EP on iTunes - a precursor to a full length album in the fall - and it's good. The songs are really good!

Rossum began her career in opera and learned to play piano before she was five. She also wrote every single song she recorded, and in many ways she has more cred than Avril Lavigne.

Emmy's sound is angelic, which is right up our alley. But it's not too pretty. The songs are meaningful, especially Slow Me Down, which we've been listening to non-stop since we bought the EP on iTunes.

If you like Imogen Heap, then you will love this. It's totally a similar vibe to the Brit's exquisite song Hide & Seek.

Enjoy Rossum's Slow Me Down below, then CLICK HERE to listen to more songs from Emmy!

    I'm sorry, but that is a carbon copy of Imogen Heap's "Hide and Seek". There is no originality to that what so ever. She should find her own style and not copy.

    Much like tori amos . . . and sounds more like amos or maclaughlan talent which is a lot more than others who don't write their own . . .

    this is total bullshit…this is a imogen rip off completely, from the lyrics to the looping of tracks to the crack in her voice. so really, she's just like avril.

  32. chicky says – reply to this
    32

    Umm, is it just me or does this chick's song sound overexposed like paris hilton's crappy music, they can't actually sing so they overdubb everything so it sounds different. I've never heard of her as a singer or as an actor, she should go back under the rock she crawled out from.

    She's got nothing on Imogen. The only similarity between them is that they both have vaginas.

    I say boo, let Imogen kick ass and just give up, Emmy.

    I can tell she has talent and I'm sure there are really good songs on her album. However this is not one of them. I HATE it.

  38. misscherie13 says – reply to this

    I love emmy rossum! She was so perfect in phantom of the opera, and the music for her new cd is very fresh and different from the other brainless songs on the radio right now. Her music at least means something, which is more than what most popular artists right now can say. Just because she's different doesn't mean she's bad.

  39. kate says – reply to this
    39

    this is definitely not emmy! what i mean by this, is you can tell that she sat down with the record execs and asked what would sell, the convo prob went something like this:
    "well, emmy, see we don't want any granola singersongwriters and we don't need anymore edgy suicidal poets, but this imogen heap woman, with her breathy and technopop is really hip."
    "ok"

    don't get me wrong, i love imogen, but this is just a crap imitation of her. and it sounds so electronic, like we know emmy is talented, but it doesn't come off at all from this computerized ripoff.

    That doesn't even look like her. She does have an awesome voice. Phantom of the Opera anyone?

  43. Wonky says – reply to this

    wow, that was truly amazing…

  44. C-Mo says – reply to this
    44

    this is way to similar to Imogen Heap's song, at first I didn't realize there was a differnce…hopefully the rest of her songs are a bit more original

    but all said, imogen is great. so yes her song is catchy…just not really her own

  45. Amy says – reply to this
    45

    Wow. That is such a blatant (and poor) Imogen Heap rip-off. I didn't think anything could make me dislike this girl (who has been in what, exactly, other than that one movie?) more than her fake, sickly-sweet, one-foot-in-the-air red carpet poses, but this music did it. I can't wait for her to go away.

  46. me says – reply to this

    Horrible song and really terrible, horrible, craptastic voice. wow! she sucks more than Mandy Moore.

    dude i saw emmy and perez eating dinner out the other week. perez is only doing a favor for his "friend" who is trying to be a musician…she sucks and her music is worse!!! when i asked emmy how she made it in hollywood at such a young age…she said, "when i got on the elevator it went straight to the top!" dumb whore!

    i love imogen, and this just sounds like a watered down version. girl's got talent though

    it's way too similar to imogen heap for me. imogen is in her own playing field and i am just not digging this track.

  51. annie says – reply to this

    emmy should go back to singing appalachian folk tunes like when i first heard of her in the movie "songcatcher." she duets with dolly parton!!!!

    This sounds like Enya.

    This is actually all her voice on this track. Every "layer" of voice is hers. She did a lot of musical experimentation on this album to really push voice and see where it could go. Good luck with this one Emmy.

    Hear me out, but wasn't Emmy Rossum a singer, starting from the age of a child, before she ever broke out into acting?

    it's missing an orchestra though- totally better with one- she sounds wonderful

  61. lex says – reply to this
    61

    dude, her voice sounded weak and strained and shrill in phantom and this…this is like a super '80s style enya rip-off! seriously, with all the effects and shit that has been used to manipulate her voice, you can't even tell what her voice really sounds like (though, as I said, what I have heard of just her voice has been kinda shitty anyhow). moreover, I think someone else said this already and I totally agree–unless you are a 45-year old soccer mom, who's really gonna listen to that shit on the radio?

  62. yasmin says – reply to this
    62

    So I was listening… yes i like this song… hmm nice tune..nice… and the i heard 'getting nowhere'
    I froze.
    THAT sounded exactly like Imogen Heap.
    Crazy scary.

  63. Becca says – reply to this

    "If you like Imogen Heap, then you will love this." What? No, Perez. Love you, and I'm with you most of the time, but NO. This is a total carbon copy of Imogen. Not to mention the fact that this style seems so unnatural for her. The album cover gives off a completely different vibe.

  64. lucyJAY says – reply to this

    duet with imo would be amazing

  65. Weeniedog says – reply to this
    65

    Wow this really sucks. Totally retarded lyrics and yes, it's a crappy rip-off of Hide and Seek. So cliche, Emmy.

  66. Trina says – reply to this
    66

    This song sounds NOTHING like "Hide and Seek" and for anyone who thinks it does, must be deaf… This song doesnt even compare on any level to "Hide and Seek" or Paris Hiltons breathy music for that matter. As for some people saying they have never "heard" of her, sure she might not be an A list actor, but her performance in Phantom of the Opera was breathtaking and the fact that she sang the original songs in the movie, makes it even better. She picks her parts carefully and doesnt take any role offered to her, shes a classy young woman with a lot of talent and I personally love the song. Its completly different than anything that has been on the charts lately, and this world needs some change. Even Justin Timberlakes songs are starting to sound the same. Originality at its best!!

  67. Ragamuffingrrl says – reply to this

    I've loved her since Songcatcher, but I'm not sure I get this sound. It's almost too polished … she doesn't sound real.

    Does anybody have a download link for her 3 songs? I can't find it in limewire

    You are so right on Perez!! I cannot get enough of that song, slow me down. I even put it on my myspace profile.

    "It’s totally a similar vibe to the Brit’s exquisite song Hide & Seek."

    Which also means RIPOFF

    But she's so hot that I don't care. Song is great though.

  73. smt says – reply to this
    73

    yeah, she sounds great but it's a little too much like Immy. Did she produce it or something? Cause if she didn't she should ask for royalties or something!

    WOW this is REALLY GREAT. Good for her….she sounds genuinely talented and not to mention she is gorgeous! I wish music would go more in this direction than hip-hop crap!

  78. V says – reply to this

    She sounded better in the Phantom…I loved the movie

  79. Jewel says – reply to this
    79

    Hmm. It does sound like Imogen Heap.
    I wouldn't know what her voice sounds like, I didn't watch Phantom of the Opera.
    I can't say if I think it's too "polished" or if it's not her "style". (How can you say it's not her style? Phantom was a MOVIE, but not necessarily her style of music anyway.)

    Regardless of all these things, I LIKE the song. That's all. :)

    I like her sound…something different and she has a classy public image.
