Emily + Shawn are the Brooklyn-based musical duo who’s music explores their honest and authentic reflection of their lives. Though nostalgia is a lyrical and emotional component to the their aesthetic, the duo are pop-savvy fearless songwriters, blowing the dust off stodgy traditional music through integrating fresh genre approaches. Emily + Shawn have been playfully described as “new age folk-pop,” and the pair swirl together catchy melodies, thoughtful lyrics, mesmerizing vocal harmony interlace, and unvarnished storytelling.

They just released their acoustic indie folk pop song “you and i,” a song with a Lumineers meets Mumford and Sons sound. They harmonize with each other in a beautiful tale of finding love in the smaller moments in life. Their dynamic and heartfelt vocals intertwined with their acoustic folk instrumentation delivers an enjoyable and easy listen.

 “‘you + i‘ is a song we wrote about our life as both a music duo and as a couple. Memories of living in New York City are present throughout, and the pensive chord progression gives the listener an element of nostalgia we tried to create lyrically,” shares the duo. “We produced this with David Baron of The Lumineers and wanted to emulate their raw, stripped-down feeling within the folk-rock genre.”
