Some of the best music is born of heartbreak, that's a fact, if a little depressing. The image of a crestfallen singer-songwriter lamenting what went wrong, or begging their lover to come back is hard to shake, but Emily Vaughn flips that trope on its head with 'Better Off'. If anything, she's pretty delighted to be shot of her ex. Infused with a shot of pure UV, 'Better Off' is a breezy indie-pop song led by Floridian Vaughn's honey-sweet cooing and emboldened beats. Vitalising stuff from the 20 year-old newcomer. - DC
