About
Emotional is the spiritual manifestation of songwriter, singer, director, Brian Wakefield. As a Bay Area native, Wakefield has been a humble part of the San Francisco music community since the early ‘00s, working with various bands, but most notably the “dream-pop quartet” Melted Toys. Emotional was initially embarked upon as an experimental side pop-project—it now serves as the signature vessel for Wakefield’s personal songwriting. A passionate surrender of humility and guilty pleasure. Following his heroes Kate Bush, Gram Parsons, and The Smashing Pumpkins, Wakefield casts a spell of irresistible tangy guitar reverb, bending synths, and candid melodies. It is a pop band, they tell a true story, and it is a testament to the modern state of feelings. It is the tale of an artist who boldly says, “It’s okay to be emotional.”
