Man/Woman/Chainsaw introduces a bold new chapter with “Get Up and Dance,” the band’s first release to feature Emmie-Mae Avery on lead vocals. Written by William Doyle, Lola Waterworth, Clio Harwood, Vera Wilhelmiina Leppänen, and Emmie-Mae Avery, and produced by Margo Bloom and Seth Evans, the track presents an energetic concept built around confidence, playful confrontation, and shifting the balance of power. Rather than following predictable romantic dynamics, the song imagines a situation in which the observer takes control, challenging the other person to prove their intentions.
Emmie-Mae Avery’s debut lead vocal performance brings fresh personality to the band’s evolving sound. Her delivery complements the song’s playful yet assertive narrative, capturing both wit and determination as the story unfolds. The production remains vibrant throughout, balancing infectious momentum with enough space for the vocal performance to command attention, making the track feel lively and purpose-driven from beginning to end.
What gives “Get Up and Dance” its appeal is the confidence behind its storytelling. It transforms a familiar social setting into a clever game of reversal, where charm is tested, and confidence is put under the spotlight. With its engaging concept and memorable energy, Man/Woman/Chainsaw delivers a release that feels fearless, entertaining, and refreshingly self-assured, while marking an exciting moment in the band’s creative progression.
