Empara Mi unveils her most emotional single yet, “Closer to Heaven,” a bold anthem from her conceptual album ‘Monsters & Masochists’.
Genre-bending artist Empara Mi has released her new single “Closer to Heaven,” marking a climactic chapter in her conceptual album Monsters & Masochists. The track fuses nostalgic emotion with a grand sonic atmosphere, evoking the scale of early 2000s alt-rock while introducing a rawness that’s uniquely her own.
“Closer to Heaven” recalls the power ballads of Paramore and Evanescence, with soaring vocals and bold production delivering a gut-punch of sincerity. “This song feels like dancing on the edge of a cliff, leaning over just to feel closer to someone you can no longer touch,” says Empara Mi. “There’s a strange comfort in that kind of sadness… like the music I grew up screaming in my bedroom.”
A follow-up to her earlier single “On Call For You,” which leaned into emotional obsession, “Closer to Heaven” ignites a storm of nostalgia and euphoria. Its release is the latest step in a visually and sonically captivating era for Empara Mi.
With over 3 million YouTube views on recent videos and accolades from major music video festivals including Cannes and Berlin, Empara Mi’s cinematic presence continues to gain traction globally. Her TikTok videos have garnered more than 10 million views across releases, supported by BBC Radio 1 naming her their “Get to Know” artist for June.
This single is more than just a continuation—it’s a turning point. With “Closer to Heaven,” Empara Mi invites listeners to scream, heal, and lean into a shared moment of beautiful, heart-wrenching release.
