Tuscon-based singer and producer Emmy Wildwood goes in many different directions on her new album “Heavy Petals” (Apple Music | Spotify) The uniting element between the songs is the unapologetic use of a smacking drum machine, but on top she layers different instruments and styles and condensed the currently super-trendy DYI bedroom pop vibe to its very essence.
