Emmy Rossum Addiction



Where’s the theme song to your life? If you live in the city or are always running through life like me, then ‘Slow Me Down’ is it. Her lead single ‘Slow Me Down’ by Emmy Rossum music video caught me off guard. I have not been able to stop playing this song. Her sound resembles Enya meets Imogen Heap.

Her first single 'Slow Me Down' was released July 31 on iTunes along with two other songs and a documentary by Doug Biro that features 'the making-of'. She co-wrote this piece herself after she wrote another song 'Stay'. The video debuted on Sept 25th, 2007, and is off the upcoming album “Inside Out” being released Oct. 23 by Geffen records. Emmy explained her video’s concept as "different speeds because the song's about the pace of life and to create the blur of the world and how overwhelming that can be."

I had never heard of Emmy Rossum until I realized that she was the actress in the 2004 movie Phantom of the Opera. She has also been featured many other shows and movies. As a 21 year old, she appears to have a future as an aspiring musical artist. She has the background credentials from singing with the Metropolitan Opera during her childhood years. The challenge for Emmy will be entering the recording industry. Usually, an actor has a lot of popularity or is a well known celebrity when changing their focus to music. For Emmy, not being well known amongst the public or lacking in publicity may hinder her from making the big leagues.
Here's the music video 'Slow Me Down' by Emmy Rossum:
