Emily’s song ‘For Free’ (from her fifth album ‘A Bit Of Blue’) is the featured song on the latest episode of Aled Jones’s new podcast ‘Oh My Goodness’.  Presented with Canon Ann Easter, former chaplain to Her Majesty the Queen, the series highlights good news stories and unsung heroes.  You can listen to the podcast here.  Aled has been a fan of Emily’s music since 2007 as the first DJ at BBC Radio 2 to play her songs and interview her when he was the presenter of the show ‘Good Morning Sunday’.  You can hear more of the album ‘A Bit Of Blue’ here.

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.

Emily performed at Maleny Music Festival in Australia last weekend with bass player Christian Dunham and Aussie drummer Shane Nesic – see the clip below of her song ‘If I Could See You’.  This was their first gig with Shane in 12 years since leaving Australia to perform as a duo touring the UK with Don McLean, Eric Bibb and Dr Hook among others.  Shane has toured the UK twice with Emily and Christian and performed with them in Manhattan, NYC.  He is performing with them at several local gigs in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland while work on the new album continues.  Details of these gigs can be found here.  If you want to see Emily play live, you can join her mailing list and she’ll keep you posted on dates plus news of her forthcoming sixth album.

Emily’s fifth album ‘A Bit Of Blue’  is being released in Australia at the start of September.  Described as ‘exhilarating and transformational’ (RnR Magazine), the album won critical acclaim on its UK release.  As Emily says in the sleeve notes, “This album follows a dark time in my life.  I wanted these songs to be stripped bare, haunting and as beautiful as they could possibly be”.

‘A Bit Of Blue’ was produced by Nigel Butler who has worked with major artists from k.d.lang to Robbie Williams and was one of the key producers in Simon Cowell’s X-Factor both in the UK and the US.  Nigel also produced Emily’s fourth album ‘Bird Inside A Cage’.

The first single ‘For Free’, a gentle and uplifting song of social conscience, was first played on Radio 2, the biggest radio station in the UK.  You can watch the music video here.
