“Angel”, the latest single from Jemily Rime, taps into a moody, intimate corner of her upcoming EP Phantom Feels. The song lingers on that fragile line between friendship and something deeper, capturing the longing, hesitation, and quiet ache that come with mismatched timing. In keeping with the EP’s world of spooky, emotionally charged characters, this track draws on the image of a gargoyle watching from above, frozen in place while wishing for the moment to finally be right.
The jazz-pop sound she’s known for is alive here, shaped by her own writing and production. Her vocals move with a soft intensity, carried by rhythmic twists and layered harmonies that draw you into the story’s atmosphere. The gargoyle idea fits naturally with the narrative, reflecting the sense of watching from afar, wanting closeness while holding still out of caution.
Certain lines hit especially hard, like the bridge where she speaks about dreams, forgotten names, and memories that cling a little too long. The chorus, with the line “Stop calling me angel / ‘Cause I won’t hold back at all / When we meet in the fall”, brings a confident lift to the track, contrasting beautifully with the more restrained verses. It all comes together in a way that feels raw without being dramatic, and thoughtful without being heavy-handed.
From my own view, the song captures that quiet emotional space many people know but rarely talk about. I also appreciated how the jazz roots give the track a rich identity, making it feel grounded and expressive in a refreshing way.
“Angel” fits naturally into the world Jemily Rime is building for Phantom Feels, keeping its emotional core at the front while exploring a vivid character and mood. It hints that the full EP will be full of depth, detail, and strong storytelling. Be sure to follow Jemily Rime, keep up with her upcoming shows, and add “Angel” to your playlist. Supporting her work helps this world she’s creating reach more ears, and this track deserves a spot for its atmosphere, emotion, and beautifully crafted sound.
