We’ve just released a new lyric video for Emily’s song ‘Rain’ from her fourth album ‘Bird Inside A Cage’. If you like it, please share it. More videos to come…
Emily has shared one of the songs that will be on her forthcoming new album. The song is so new it hasn’t been recorded properly yet so the version on the lyric video is actually Emily’s own demo arrangement. She wanted to share it now. Read her blog about it and hear the song here.
