Emily Wolfe Teams With Eagles Of Death Metal On “Lips”…Austin-based singer/songwriter and powerhouse guitarist Emily Wolfe returns with her new single “Lips,” featuring Jesse Hughes of Eagles of Death Metal, available now through Judge & Jury Records. The track marks Wolfe’s first single from her forthcoming new album, exuding an equal amount of chemistry and swagger. Combining the swing of 70s rock with the cockiness of the 80s, the hyper-defined production from Gavin Brown (Three Days Grace, Barenaked Ladies, Metric) gives the song enough clarity to feel fresh and modern in 2026.
“This song feels like a full circle moment for me”, says Wolfe. “I grew up loving Eagles of Death Metal, so getting to write and watch Jesse Hughes sing this with me was surreal. It’s what happens when you find yourself creating alongside someone who shaped you, and realize they’re just as hungry to make something dangerous as you are. Writing it with Jesse was electric, and alongside producer Gavin Brown, we created something that’s familiar in all the right ways, but still has the bite of older rock records.”
Wolfe credits Hughes not only as a collaborator, but as a mentor in the studio, guiding her through her first-ever in-studio collaboration with another artist. A fan of Hughes since high school, Wolfe describes the experience as one of the most formative creative moments of her career.
Already an established force in rock, Wolfe has spent 13+ years building her reputation as a guitar-driven artist with millions of streams and major media recognition including The Wall Street Journal, MTV, Guitar Player, Paste, and American Songwriter. Her original song “Atta Blues” has surpassed 2 million streams on Spotify, further solidifying her growing global audience.
A proud Gibson partner, Wolfe has two signature guitar models created in her name. She also shares Gibson signature Epiphone status with Adam Jones (TOOL), a connection that may lead to Wolfe co-writing with Jones in the future. Wolfe was personally asked by the CEO of Gibson Guitars if she wanted to open for TOOL, later discovering that Jones was already a fan of her work.
Emily Wolfe has released three records, toured internationally, and shared stages with major acts including The Gaslight Anthem, TOOL, All Them Witches, and more.
In support of the new single, Wolfe will be hitting the road throughout 2026 with a stacked run of high-profile performances. She will be supporting YUNGBLUD and The Warning for multiple shows in May, appearing alongside The Mountain Goats and The Menzingers at Sing Us Home Festival in May, and performing at Frank Turner’s festival in September. Additional tour announcements are expected soon.
“Emily Wolfe is great! We’re excited to have her join the IDOLS tour,” says Yungblud.
