Rising pop star Snow Wife sat down with Atwood Magazine to discuss her electrifying ‘Bodyology’ EP, her synergistic connection between dance and music, and the origin story of her artist persona.

Stream: ‘Bodyology’ – Snow Wife

Combine the nostalgic, unapologetic, hypnotic energy of Britney Spears with the hyper-pop energy of Charli xcx, and you get one of pop’s most exciting new voices: Snow Wife.

The moniker for 23-year-old Texan singer and dancer Emily Leann Snow had an entry into the music industry as fast and bold as her discography. Her debut album, 2023’s QUEEN DEGENERATE, helped her to garner a fanbase that appreciated her frank, oftentimes shocking lyricism, backed by production that lived somewhere between the 2000s and today’s punchy and aggressive sound in pop.

Snow Wife recently spoke with Atwood Magazine about her new EP, Bodyology, the connection between her dance background and her music, and her evolving artistic journey.

When she first moved to LA from Texas, the plan wasn’t to become a musician. “I moved out here for dance… I trained my whole life, and then my body just started rejecting dance as a profession,” Snow says. “I would literally go into classes that I’ve taken a million times with the same people that I’ve taken them with growing up and I would panic. I would run into the bathroom and throw up, I would pass out… it was crazy.”

She was desperately trying to reconnect her muscle memory and long loved artistic art form, but “nothing was really clicking in my body, and then that’s when I started to write music.”

Whether her body’s rejection to dance was predestined or not, Snow Wife saw her entry into the music industry as a sort of spiritual intervention.

“God or the universe just like very quickly showed me that that was the decision for me… the path kind of chose me.” Her come up in the industry was as fast paced as her entry in and of itself, “Five or six months into writing songs, I was blessed with this new full-time career as an artist kind of just before I knew it… everything else in my life kind of started to make more sense once I realized that was supposed to be what I did with my life.”

Snow Wife’s debut album, QUEEN DEGENERATE, was her formal introduction into the the pop scene, tracks across the album gaining millions of streams, most notably “F*CK” and “AMERICAN HORROR SHOW.” Both tracks toe the line between hyper-pop and more typical production and vocal stylings that sound straight from the 2000s. With QUEEN DEGENERATE, Snow Wife pulled listeners in through a charming mix of nostalgia and unabashed confidence.

Two years out from her debut record, she says, “I think that QUEEN DEGENERATE is really special because it was just all the songs that I wrote when I first even started writing music. I think it’s an embodiment of what my raw talent looks like as a songwriter… and I love it. I think that it’s overtly confident, and maybe even flamboyantly confident in a lot of ways.”

Moving to her most recent EP, Bodyology, released earlier this summer, Snow Wife seems to be coming into her own as an artist. At this year’s Governors Ball Music Festival, she was a powerhouse onstage.

One statement she made while performing that truly encapsulates the essence of the project is that the record is the connection between song and dance. Snow herself has remarked upon how her music career sparked her connection to dance again, and Bodyology seems to be a celebration of that reunion.

“Music just kind of like really helped me rebuild my relationship with dance… I don’t think that anything in my artistic realm exists without the other one… dance is just a component of the songwriting and songwriting is like a component of the dance,” she says. That couldn’t be more true after listening to any track from the EP, even more so than her debut. From the title track that transports you into memories of unembarrassed confidence at the club to songs like “Sweat” that sound like a y2k anthem, Bodyology is a fully formed vision and cohesive piece.

Seeing it in action on the stage was something particularly special; it was undoubtedly obvious that the rising pop star was earnestly having fun performing. Snow Wife admits how much she enjoyed touring this past summer. “Whenever I was on stage I was like, ‘Okay, this is truly like where my body is kind of meant to exist’… I think about life a lot more clearly when I’m on tour… I [realized] that just like doing shows and giving myself to people in that way is the way that my body, I think, was created to function… I feel more clear on who I am and why I exist.”

Before she took to the stage, her main collaborator, producer, and fellow musician Slush Puppy helped her to further refine the brand that is Snow Wife. Not only is he her longtime collaborator, but he’s also a best friend in the complex and oftentimes intimidating industry; Snow Wife spoke very highly of Slush Puppy and his support. “I ride for him, brilliant person… he is genuinely kind to every single person that he meets… he just continues to stay consistent with who he is as a person, even as he, like, moves through his career, which I think that’s the most important thing to me.”

It’s understandable that Snow Wife feels like music chose her, considering how she met her music collaborator. “He was one of the first people I even met in LA. We met at a party… I was, like, mostly still a dancer at the time, and we just became best friends and we started my project together. I went by ‘Snow,’ but he added the ‘Wife.’” Acting as a catalyst for what she has grown into as an artist, Snow says, “He completely believed in me, invested so much of himself into me and into Snow Wife… he’s a lot of the soul of the music.”

Bodyology feels like the first step in Snow Wife’s newly formed vision.

In her own words, “With Bodyology and moving forward, I think I’ve really honed in on what I think that my messaging is as an artist, how I want to communicate that and how I want people to perceive me and how I want people to feel community with me.”

Bodyology already has a built in community ready to accept it with open arms. Covering everything from queer sensuality on songs like “Freaky Like That,” to addicting partners on her self-proclaimed favorite, “YoYo,” the EP is an undeniably fun, energetic, and exciting piece of art. Whether Bodyology is your introduction to Snow Wife or you’ve been following her since the start of her journey, it’s without a doubt one of the most lively and addicting pop EPs released in 2025.

Listen to Bodyology during the pregame, in your Uber to the club, on the subway to the gay bar, or when you’re alone in your room and just need to feel the infectious energy that gets your body moving. As she continues to build out her world, Snow Wife’s music is poised to carry her from underground favorite to one of pop’s defining names.
