Soft Ballad Bonus from Emma Louise

emma_mainphoto-fixedUS.105553I’m really impressed with the growth I’ve seen musically from Emma Louise.  When I first heard her awhile back, I liked it, but it was just another great voice–that’s not the case now with her latest effort, vs Head vs Heart.  She’s got a much stronger presence behind the microphone, and I like the soulful solemnity in her voice on this bonus single.  There’s not much besides the piano and the voice, but if you listen to this track, you won’t need anything else to fall in love with Emma Louise.  Her album is out now on Frenchkiss Records.

Emma Louise Signs to Frenchkiss

You know, Frenchkiss Records quietly goes about releasing some awesome acts: they’ve got Cut Off Your Hands, Suckers and now they have the wonderful Emma Louise.  The Australian singer has signed on with the label to release Full Hearts and Empty Rooms, her new EP, on March 13th.   Her first song from the album, “Jungle,” is centered around this nice little groove, but Emma’s voice is what will definitely win you over.  In a world full of Lana del Rey’s, it’s nice to have someone of that ilk doing something you can believe in.  She’s also just put out a really nice video to go with the jam, and you can check that out HERE.  Don’t forget to look up her tour schedule, as she’ll be zooming in for SXSW.
