She's on the list because of her debut single, "Walk in My Shoes," in which she cooly, but at the same time firmly, let's everybody know that they need to back off and let Emily be herself: I just wanna live my life 'cause I wanna, and I need to/So dont be tryna steal my light 'cause you dont know me, dont pretend to/I've been busy on my grind, just like you, ive been trying/I've even shed a tear or two, I swear to you, I ain't lying.
What's Next for Her:
After about a year's worth of delays, Emily's debut album, East Side Story, will be in stores beginning Aug. 28, 2007.
