Emily browne - biography
EMILY IS A SINGER-SONGWRITER WHOSE SONGS FEATURE AN ECLECTIC MIX OF MUSICAL STYLES FROM ROCK AND POP, THROUGH TO ROOTS AND FOLK. HER VERY DISTINCT, ALMOST CONTRALTO VOICE, HAS BEEN COMPARED TO A NUMBER OF CLASSIC VOCALISTS INCLUDING JOAN ARMATRADING, GRACE SLICK AND NICO.
“SHE'S GOT RHYTHM, SHE'S GOT SOUL, SHE'S GOT SENSITIVITY, SHE'S JUST GOT IT.” SAYS BENJAMIN ZEPHANIAH, WRITER AND POET.
EMILY HAS BEEN INVOLVED WITH MUSIC FROM AN EARLY AGE, PLAYING A SELECTION OF INSTRUMENTS FROM CLARINET TO DRUMS TO ACOUSTIC GUITAR. SHE PLAYED IN A FEW BANDS AS A TEENAGER AND ONLY STARTED TO WRITE HER OWN SONGS WHEN SHE WAS IN HER EARLY 20S. THIS CULMINATED IN THE DEBUT ALBUM WHICH WAS RELEASED IN 2015, FOLLOWED BY A FIVE YEAR BREAK AFTER THE ARRIVAL OF HER BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER.
THE LAST TWO YEARS HAVE BEEN A CREATIVE ROLLER COASTER, STARTING WITH A HANDFUL OF SONG IDEAS IN LATE 2020, NEGOTIATING A COVID WORLD WITH A MIXTURE OF ON-LINE AND REAL - WORLD MUSICAL COLLABORATIONS, AND FINALLY GETTING INTO THE STUDIO TO FINISH OFF A SECOND ALBUM WHICH EMILY IS RIGHTLY PROUD OF!
THE FIRST SINGLE FROM THE ALBUM SUMMED UP THIS BIZARRE, BUT WONDERFULLY CREATIVE, ADVENTURE PERFECTLY: WORTH WAITING FOR.
THE SECOND ALBUM - LETTING GO - WAS RELEASED ON THE 22ND JULY 2022.
EMILY IS PLANNING TO RELEASE TO MORE SINGLES AND VIDEOS IN 2023, AND TO PROMOTE HER MUSIC AROUND THE UK WITH EASTER AND SUMMER FESTIVAL TOURS.
