Emblem3 just released a brand new song for their fans!
The guys — Emblem3 — brothers Keaton and Wesley Stromberg and Drew Chadwick — dropped “Taboo Love” on Friday (April 8) after playing the first two shows off their Waking Up tour in Japan.
“This is sooo sick!! Hear our new single “Taboo Love” on YouTube https://youtu.be/OQ_Yivvp8rA or on the Emblem3 app,” Wesley shared with fans on social media.
Emblem3 also announced that The Ready Set and Megan Nicole would be coming with them on their tour, starting in May!
“We’re in full control now,” Keaton shared. “We’re going to be as creative as we want to be.”
After taking a break and cutting ties with SYCO records and the teams behind X Factor, the guys are now doing things their own way.
“Basically the knowledge that we learned from that is everything that we’d ever need to know about the industry, about songwriting, about touring,” Wes said.
Keaton added, “Working with major songwriters gave us the capability to do everything on our own.”
Emblem3 hit up the2016 Vanity Fair Social Club #VFSC for Oscar Week held at PLATFORM on Thursday (February 25) in Culver City, Calif.
The guys — brothers Keaton and Wesley Stromberg and Drew Chadwick — spoke on the How Social Is Changing The Business of Music panel before performing a new song at the event.
The next day, Emblem3 got fans involved in picking their next single off of their EP.
“Which song from the Waking Up EP should be our next Single!?! You can help us find out, by voting here!” they wrote on Twitter.
“Happy Valentines Day from E3! They can have their #mycalvins but we will always have our #Emblems. We have the best fans in the world ;) #E3VD – 2016 Spring Tour Dates announced!” the band wrote with the pic.
Wesley added, “So stoked to announce the “Waking Up Tour”! Tickets will be on sale next week! We can’t wait to see you! #E3VD.”
“We got something interesting happening this upcoming Valentine’s Day. We’re going to do things a little different this time. Switch it up a lil bit,” Drew shared on Instagram. “@emblemthree #E3VD Feel free to repost and help with some promo, would always me much appreciated.”
The lyrics talk about how they were broken apart by the business aspects of the music industry, and that they are thankful for their fans for sticking by them.
“Baby we’re back, did you miss me?” Wes sings. Listen below!
Stay tuned for a big announcement about their official single soon, as well as upcoming tour dates!
We’ve got some pretty bad news for Emblem3 fans everywhere – Drew Chadwick has decided to leave the group.
But don’t worry, this doesn’t mean the end of the band! In an announcement posted on the band’s site, Wesley Stromberg revealed the future of the group.
“We know many of you may be concerned about what this means for Emblem3, but I can assure you this is just the beginning! Me and Keaton started this band when we were 9 and 11 years old and we will continue making music for our fans. We love you with all our heart. E3 has always been about a partnership of likeminded musicians and we’re committed to continuing this journey alongside you all. And who knows, you may also start seeing some very familiar faces popping up :).” Wesley posted.
If your fave was Drew, don’t fret – he’s not leaving the music scene!
“We’re sad to see Drew go but he will always be our brother, and we couldn’t be happier for him as he starts his new journey as a solo artist. If you’d like to stay updated on Drew‘s solo album and news tune into Drew‘s Twitter/Instagram and his YouTube channel for an announcement on June 27th regarding his new album. Drew sends hugs out to all the Emblems.”
