Budding songstress Emily Sara follows up “Burnout” with a new single, “Rookie.” “Rookie” is an Alt-Pop song. The record is fun and bouncy yet thought-provoking and intuitive.

“Rookie” is an empowering anthem that tackles the innate ambitious chase and the correlating woe of disbelief. Emily Sara cleverly uses the rookie metaphor as rookies in sports tend to question themselves while also in pursuit of proving themselves and ever-vying for more.

Although the cover artwork and metaphors tie into sports, Emily Sara wrote the track from the perspective of navigating a cutthroat music industry. “I think when you want something badly enough, it’s easy to convince yourself that if you just work a little harder, change a little more, or make yourself a little smaller, you’ll finally be good enough.” Emily Sara continues, “This song is about realizing how ridiculous that cycle is while still being completely caught up in it – it’s basically a love song to something that keeps breaking my heart, and the embarrassing part is that I keep coming back for more.”

The infectious jam is a product of Emily Sara’s assembled dream team. Emily Sara co-wrote “Rookie” alongside rising star Alexa Kate and renowned producer, multi-instrumentalist, and songwriter Jason Juliano. Illustrious producer and multi-instrumentalist Tiger Darrow produced and mixed the single. While multi-platinum, GRAMMY-nominated producer, songwriter, and engineer Ian Kimmel mastered the masterpiece. “Rookie” serves as a lead single for Emily Sara’s forthcoming EP. Akin to its name, “Rookie” is only the beginning.
