Emma Russack Shares That’s Not Free
One of my favorite voices from Australia, which surprisingly hasn’t quite caught on over in the States is that of Emma Russack. She’s readying the release of About the Girl, an album that seems filled with reflections of her past; this new tune, for instance, is a nod to the lesson that “winning at any cost/that’s not free.” All of it is put to work on a light-hearted strum and a wash of key work, while Russack gets to narrate her experience for the listener; I just love the calmed cool, as she seems so effortless behind the microphone, even when hanging syllables high in pitch. About the Girl is out August 22nd via Dinosaur City.
