Emily In Love: Let's Pretend We're In Love
Emily – producer, musician,
all-round
renaissance woman and the guiding light behind Emily In Love
–
presents her new release “Let’s Pretend
We’re In
Love”.
Compared the her first EP on Corpid Extra, the sound is a lot more
defined and confident now, a lot less electronic, as Emily spent a lot
of time recording instruments live, occasionally bringing in other
musicians like her partners Pia and Ricardo.
The EP opens with "Sow The Seeds", a very meditative reflection on a
relationship and a real showcase for Pia’s unique vocal
style,
which is informal and intimate and draws you in straight away.
In Track two, "Jellybean", the more electronic side of Emily In Love
shines through this, especially in the percussion sounds. "Half A
Chance" exemplifies what was meant about Emily In Love sounding
confident – it has a swagger that really gives it an edge -
and the saxophone is an inspired touch that sits really well in the
mix. "Everything's Ok" is a sad song about missing someone
who’s living in another state, and all you’ve got
is a phone call to make things better. Saving the best til last
– "Here With You" is a real tour de force, not only for what
Emily has done with the vocals, but also Ricardo’s guitar.
The boy plays a blinder!
