The <strong>Jersey City artist has had his time in New York City, but his love for his hometown and home values is evident in his music, such as his recent release &#8216;Everytime I Leave My Girl&#8217;, a sweet duet with his daughter.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- Random Ad stuff --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block;\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\" data-ad-format=\"auto\" data-ad-slot=\"3107208401\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-2076862002005673\"><\/ins><\/p>\n<p><script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Val might seem familiar to you &#8211; he&#8217;s had memorable and recurring roles in &#8217;30 Rock&#8217;, and &#8216;Ugly Betty&#8217;, and his latest book, &#8216;Dear Evan Hansen: The Novel&#8217;, is a New York Times bestseller, now turned into a hit Broadway play, which is sweeping the world.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Not content with all that, the triple threat has released his twelfth album, &#8216;Tizzy&#8217;. Yes twelfth. &#8216;Worry&#8217;, is the first single from the record, which along with the music video, shows that although a creative mind is a beautiful thing, it&#8217;s not always pretty to look at from inside.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Tackling anxiety and depression face on, Val Emmich describes the hamster wheel of doubt, confusion, and isolation, with a slow burning crescendo, which sounds like he&#8217;s begging his demons to forgive him. There&#8217;s more than a hint of Thom Yorke, as with lyrical rawness he drives out the track soulfully on a toy piano. Complex, yet simple in their honesty,it&#8217;s at once savage and amusing, and his words offer us kinship in a way we can all relate.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Find out more about Val Emmich on his <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ValEmmich.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">official website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\">\n<div  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_76076\"  width=\"640\" height=\"360\"  data-origwidth=\"640\" data-origheight=\"360\"  data-relstop=\"1\" data-facadesrc=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TI9zZ6l0CTs?enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/essentiallypop.com&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=1&#038;controls=1&#038;disablekb=0&#038;color=red&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;rel=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__ epyt-facade epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" data-epautoplay=\"1\" ><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-spai-excluded=\"true\" class=\"epyt-facade-poster skip-lazy\" loading=\"lazy\"  alt=\"&quot;Worry&quot; (Official Video) - Val Emmich\"  src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/TI9zZ6l0CTs\/maxresdefault.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\"  \/><button class=\"epyt-facade-play\" aria-label=\"Play\"><svg data-no-lazy=\"1\" height=\"100%\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 68 48\" width=\"100%\"><path class=\"ytp-large-play-button-bg\" d=\"M66.52,7.74c-0.78-2.93-2.49-5.41-5.42-6.19C55.79,.13,34,0,34,0S12.21,.13,6.9,1.55 C3.97,2.33,2.27,4.81,1.48,7.74C0.06,13.05,0,24,0,24s0.06,10.95,1.48,16.26c0.78,2.93,2.49,5.41,5.42,6.19 C12.21,47.87,34,48,34,48s21.79-0.13,27.1-1.55c2.93-0.78,4.64-3.26,5.42-6.19C67.94,34.95,68,24,68,24S67.94,13.05,66.52,7.74z\" fill=\"#f00\"><\/path><path d=\"M 45,24 27,14 27,34\" fill=\"#fff\"><\/path><\/svg><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jersey City artist has had his time in New York City, but his love for his hometown and home values is evident in his music, such as his recent release &#8216;Everytime I Leave My Girl&#8217;, a sweet duet with his daughter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":50656,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_seo_schema_type":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_hide_featured_image":false,"_jetpack_featured_image_duplicate_dismissed":0,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[7,9,21453,21445,21446],"tags":[21704,3700,5949,791,21706,3610,21708,11944,11720,14595,144,77,370,1945,2601,21707,8425,78,304,21703,21705,21702,81,3562],"class_list":["post-50576","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-music","category-new-releases","category-new-singles","category-reviews","category-single-reviews","tag-30-rock","tag-actor","tag-anxiety","tag-broadway","tag-dear-evan-hansen-the-novel","tag-depression","tag-everytime-i-leave-my-girl","tag-jersey-city","tag-lisa-hafey","tag-mental-health","tag-new-album","tag-new-release","tag-new-single","tag-new-video","tag-new-york-city","tag-new-york-times-bestseller","tag-play","tag-singer","tag-songwriter","tag-tizzy","tag-ugly-betty","tag-val-emmich","tag-video","tag-worry"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p5yMhl-d9K","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":71319,"url":"https:\/\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/2021\/09\/sam-smith-and-summer-walker-team-up-on-you-will-be-found-taken-from-dear-evan-hansen-original-motion-picture-soundtrack\/","url_meta":{"origin":50576,"position":0},"title":"Sam Smith And Summer Walker Team Up On &#8216;You Will Be Found&#8217; Taken From &#8216;Dear Evan Hansen&#8217; Original Motion Picture Soundtrack","author":"Lisa Hafey","date":"17\/09\/2021","format":false,"excerpt":"'You Will Be Found' is the new single from Sam Smith and Summer Walker, released today.
