Emma Tea & Madara Eve Release a Haunting New Alt-Pop Single “Blame”
11th September, 2025, emerging London-based alt/pop artist, Emma Tea, and Latvian soul/pop artist, Madara Eve, unveil their new single, Blame - about the complexities of modern relationships. Those connections that spark but ultimately fade, not because of malice but because sometimes things just don’t work out. It’s that frustrating place where you want to point a finger, yet deep down you know there’s no one to blame.
‘’Blame” is available now on your streaming service of choice via APOLLO Distribution.
Listen to Blame below:
“Blame” marks a milestone for both artists! Emma Tea’s first release as the main producer, and Madara Eve's first release in 2 years. Harmoniously sitting somewhere between early Billie Eilish and cinematic alt-pop, this new track captures that frustrating emotional limbo, the urge to point a finger, to place fault, while deep down knowing there’s no one to blame. Layered with soft vocals from both artists, minimalist yet powerful production, and raw vulnerability. “Blame” is both intimate and cinematic, introducing a new era for both Emma Tea and Madara Eve.
The song was mixed and mastered by Jennings Couch at Holywell Studios.
