SPILL NEW MUSIC: LIBBY EMBER – “LET ME GO”

LIBBY EMBER – “LET ME GO”

INDEPENDENT

Following the September 2025 release of her debut EP I Kill Spiders and the subsequent single, “To Her,” Montreal singer-songwriter Libby Ember shares “Let Me Go,” a melancholic, dreamy indie-folk single that sits in the uncomfortable space between holding on and letting go. Nostalgic and emotionally raw, the track captures the quiet contradictions of a relationship that lingers long after both people know it isn’t right.

Inspired by a complicated relationship rooted in mutual fear, Libby reflects on the tension of staying when leaving feels just as painful.

What sets “Let Me Go” apart is its careful attention to detail in both instrumentation and texture. Delicate flute lines weave through the arrangement, while reversed sounds subtly fall into the landscape, creating a hazy, immersive atmosphere.

“Let Me Go” continues Libby Ember’s exploration of vulnerability, emotional honesty, and the quiet moments that define our relationships. Melancholic yet tender, the song offers no easy answers; only the truth of sitting with conflicting feelings and learning to let the music hold them.

ARTIST QUOTE

“I felt like someone was holding onto me because they were afraid of letting me go. Even still, I knew that it was wrong to keep dragging the relationship on when we knew it was wrong for the both of us. It also touches on the fact that the opposite feels wrong. Both letting go and not letting go feel wrong.”
