Sting (Emarosa album)

Sting is the sixth studio album by American rock band Emarosa.

[3][4][5] On July 1, 2020, the band were reportedly dropped from their label, Hopeless Records, and by their management, Roc Nation, following allegations of sexual misconduct that surfaced against vocalist, Bradley Walden.

Shannon Eacups of Distorted Sound scored the album 9 out of 10 and said: "As a whole this record does exceptionally well by playing on the nostalgic aspect of the 80s with clear influence from Michael Jackson and Tears for Fears mixed with the modernity of artists like The 1975 and Charlie Puth and of course the obvious influence from synthwave as a whole.

Its only downfall are the short lived saxophone solos which have so much undelivered potential, yet that's a minor inconvenience compared to the record as a whole, which delivers more than it lacks.

Artist's are either condemned for staying too similar or for straying too far from their original sound, however, had the duo toed the line a touch more to make Sting really pack a punch, possibly with a new genre component, more than capable vocal acrobatics, or lyrical/instrumental juxtaposition, it could've rivaled Peach Club.
