emmy the great “cassandra”

by gregor on December 1, 2011

top of the morning. today, i needed something a little different to listen to considering i have been listening to the same 10-15 records for the past 6 months or so. i happened to stumble upon british songstress emmy the great’s sophomore record, virtue. im only about half way through it, but i dig it, and is definitely calming my heavy soul. its poppy in the way that tori amos is poppy, but she doesnt sound anything like her and thats for the better, imo. if you be a fan of the likes of feist, martha wainwright, bright eyes, early aka good beth orton, etc you should find miss emmy to your liking. its only available as a digital download via amazon otherwise its a 20 dollar import.

Was gonna say I didn’t hear the pop element you referenced, but then the drums came in. It’s a sweet light sound. She’s got a very clear voice.

Thanks for sharing!
