London-based singer-songwriter Pola is making waves with her latest single, ‘Emerald Sea’, a captivating taste of her forthcoming album set to arrive in October 2025. Following the impact of her previous track, ‘The World Needs Love’, which drew comparisons to the dramatic flair of a James Bond theme, the new single solidifies her position as a compelling and contemporary voice in alternative pop.
The new offering is a bold step forward for Pola, pushing her sound to new levels with its lush, cinematic scope. At its heart, ‘Emerald Sea’ is both an incredibly catchy and undeniably bold song. It’s a track that shines with an otherworldly quality, building on vibrant pop tones to create a lasting impression. The track, expertly produced by the acclaimed Ed Harcourt, features Pola's distinctive ethereal vocals gracefully layered over rich, evocative instrumentation.
It's a release that effortlessly merges cinematic grandeur with a deeply personal emotional core, drawing the listener into a world that feels simultaneously dreamlike and intensely present. Speaking openly about the track, Pola shared that "'Emerald Sea' came from a place of longing—for escape, for connection, for peace and something bigger than storms of life." This sentiment is palpable throughout the track, shining with a deep desire for tranquillity and peace in our busy modern age.
Hailing from the renowned Polish musical family 'POSPIESZALSCY', Pola's upbringing was steeped in music, shaping a career that fluidly traverses genres and reaches international audiences. Her earlier work, including the 2010 debut album ‘My Favorite Town’, produced by industry heavyweights Robin Millar and Ned Bigham (known for their work with Amy Winehouse and Leona Lewis), garnered significant acclaim.
Pola has also commanded stages in front of crowds of over 20,000 fans and embarked on extensive tours, including a memorable series of performances in China alongside Andy Summers of The Police, whose signature guitar work is also set to feature on Pola’s new album.
