Be sure to check out these five (other) musicians called Emily.
EMILY at W♥M
If things work out, I'm hoping to have Emily cover the sold-out show with The Toadies and Social Distortion this Friday, May 27th, at First Avenue. She previously covered Spectrals at First Ave with Amy (a tagteam I'm calling Amily).
EMELI SANDÉ
emelisande.com
You might remember how lucky we were to have caught Emeli Sande at The Dakota last month. And as I previously mentioned, she is coming back to Minneapolis, but under the Coldplay banner, at a massive stadium-sized venue.
Some news on this Scottish-born singer/songwriter Sandé released her first U.S. single, "Next To Me" last week (April 17th), the same day that you can also pre-order for her debut album Our Version of Events. Her album comes out June 5th via Capitol Records and will include a brand new song, "Wonder", exclusively on the US album.
Sande's also doing a round of promotional appearances, including Conan O'Brien (April 19th), NPR’s World Café (this week), BET’s 106 & Park (April 23rd), VH1’s Big Morning Buzz Live (April 25th), and Rachael Ray (week of May 14th). Expect her to appear on more television appearances when she's touring with Coldplay!
I'm pretty sure Sande's pre-July dates have sold-out, or close to it, so catch her now or you'll regret it later.
EMILY WELLS
emilywellsmusic.com
Emily Wells is a musician/artist with a style that mixes hip-hop and classical. From reading her concert reviews, she record live loops and uses them during her performance.
Her latest album is called Mama, which came out April 10th, via Partisan Records. What's more exciting is her Pillowfight album, which is her collaboration with Dan the Automator (I've been a fan of his since he was just known as Automator, and of course, for his Deltron 3030 project). There is no release date yet, but expect it to come out sometime this year.
EMILY JANE WHITE
emilyjanewhite.com (website not working?)
Emily Jane White is a folky/country/rock musician from the San Francisco area. Her voice is compared to Chan Marshall (Cat Power) and Hope Sandoval (Mazzy Star). Her third album, Ode To Sentience will be coming out June 12th via Antenna Farm Records. The upcoming album is described as "finger-picked folk, traditional country, classical music and rock …. [Emily Jane] White creates an expansive space for her intuitive lyrics and elegiac vocals. "
You can preview her songs via the Daytrotter Session (from April 18th) or get a free download Black Silk on Soundcloud.
Catch her on tour:
