In the winter of 2018/2019 he signed with the independent Italian label Cockroach International Production for the release of the single and video "Snow" published on 21 January 2019. Emilya ndMe says: "Snow was born on my bed: it often happens to me that memories come to mind like images, right in front of my eyes even when I don't feel like it or I don't want to think about it. They are able to tear off a sudden smile or bring tears to my eyes. That's the day, SNOW day, that's how it went. I often fight with those images, I would like to cancel so many, never think about it again and I never won and I had to accept them, welcome them so as not to be left behind. So on that afternoon, there, I took an old diary, a pen and tried to describe those memories, to free myself. SNOW talks about my mother's last hours, when I was there beside her bed, on the other side, my sister was staring at my mom together with my family; we said goodbye on a January’s morning, the sky was cloudy and bruised with the light coming out like icy rays in the clouds. I felt myself falling into the void, not having the strength in my legs, it seemed like a nightmare, a violent pressing of unsettling events, an unheard-of pain and then a moment after, the elusive silence. It looked like the surreal snow. The snow that my mother loved so much, that taught me to live like magic when it falls, which was an intimate thing of amazement between her and her daughters, an elusive game that chases one another. It happens that in order to live we fight, sometimes it is not enough and we pass away, it also pass those who stay because you go beyond the physicality and you stay inside a bubble for a long time and then you start living again, like when the snow falls, covers everything and there is the silence but then it melts and starts again. "
Emilya ndMe's second single, “Yellow Led” has recently been released with electronic and rock sounds, panoramic pads and synthesizers, distorted guitars, sweet and penetrating vocals, deep drums. "I wrote Yellow Led reflecting on my relationship with religion: a conflict is always present in me, between the religiosity that I most understand as spirituality and the rationality or material interpretation of life events. Yet every time I find myself in danger or in painful situations, I have always sought help and strength in what is not seen, seeking contact with nature as if it were a portal between this world and another. Yellow led talks about this experience: "no other way, no other way to avoid that knife, except through you" and more over "you know I'm blind" are phrases that lead to the language of sacred texts, the expiation of pain through something , the concept of blindness, as an inability to see God and the truth Already in the title "Yellow led" there is the use of the metaphor of light as a search for another awareness, of another life, like something that lights up in the dark "
