You Got Me Hurt

Marnix Emanuel

Golden Love Music

WE SAY

Heartfelt and powerfully emotive, ‘You Got Me Hurt’ is the deeply personal and beautiful new piano pop song from Dutch artist Marnix Emanuel. Based in his hometown of Amsterdam, Marnix is an independent artist who has captured the attention of tastemakers across the Netherlands for his timeless pop songs and captivating voice. His debut independent release, ‘Right Through Me’, has amassed over 15m streams on Spotify, achieved Gold certification in the Netherlands, and received nationwide radio airplay. As a songwriter, his catalogue has clocked up over 50m streams and has had music placements in films and adverts. Released earlier this month, 'You Got Me Hurt' explores the heartbreak of losing a once-in-a-lifetime love and has been featured on editorial playlists at Spotify (inc NMF in NL & BE, Fresh Pop) and Apple Music. Since then, the song has been supported on Dutch radio, including Radio 538, NPO Radio 2, and NPO Radio 5. With its radio-friendly air, emotionally resonant lyrics and striking vocal performance, the song has all the ingredients to make an impact here in the UK, especially on Radio 2, Capital, Heart and more. Now looking to expand internationally, Marnix and his team are actively seeking strategic partners in the UK to help bring this rising talent to a broader audience.
