Emilia spoke with Billboard News over coffee in Miami about the new phase of her career, including her latest single, “BODYPAINTING,” and the expectations surrounding the follow-up to MP3.
The singer said the next album will introduce a new era, while also addressing the pressure that comes with trying to build on the success of her previous project. Miami, she explained, has become an important setting for studio sessions and for completing details related to the album.
Emilia also shared the story behind “Girl’s Girl (Girls Trip),” her collaboration with Zara Larsson. The project began after an email from Larsson’s team proposed that the two artists record a song together—news Emilia initially received with surprise and cautious excitement.
During the conversation, she reflected on performing at Coachella alongside Luísa Sonza and discussed how she remains connected to Nogoyá, Argentina. She also described her fitness routine as a form of therapy and spoke about fashion week experiences.
The interview included a series of unexpected “Hot Coffee Pot” questions, covering topics such as jealousy and whether Emilia uses a hotel alias. The conversation took place at Studio 24 Coffee in Miami, where the singer and host Jessica Roiz ordered matcha and coffee before discussing Emilia’s music and upcoming plans.
