Emily Dimes

We all remember hearing that one song that changed everything we thought we knew about music. Well, we can’t get enough of new music, and ‘Making Waves’ is your guide to the new artists disrupting the scene…

 Making Waves today is ‘Simpler Times’ by Emily Dimes!

Emily Dimes is an alt-pop singer-songwriter from Suffolk, now based between London and Singapore. Blending influences from K-Pop, pop-rock and Disney pop, she brings candid storytelling and resonant vocals to every track. First finding an audience of over 35,000 online with her ‘English ballad’ renditions of Korean songs, this project shapes the cross-genre style she carries into her original music. Drawing on her perspectives on mental health, relationships and identity, Emily’s songs explore moments of loss to empowerment, often with an anthemic chorus. Her debut EP, released March 2026, pairs her pop sensibilities with lyrical vulnerability, creating a sound that’s powerful and intimate.
