Emmy The Great
Emmy The Great was recently recommended and I checked out some of her stuff. Her real name is Emma-Lee Moss and she was born in Hong Kong and lives in London, England. I must say she is very very attractive as she looks part-Chinese add that she plays a guitar she’s now SUPER SEXY in my eyes.
There aren’t many songs by Emmy The Great but all I’ve heard so far are great. She labeled as being part of the anti-folk scene so the only person who comes to mind is Regina Spektor (whom I also love). I’m not sure I would compare her to Regina Spektor which is hard to live up with but what I really enjoyed are her lyrics making references like S Club 7 breaking up or singing songs that would rather seem childish yet charming. Emmy has a great voice and there’s just something about her songs that gets you hooked.
She released an EP on August 20th featuring the song MIA (based on the artist M.I.A). The first song that got me entirely hooked was “My Party Is Better Then Yours”. That song seems so silly yet displays a type of brilliance on a childish subject that makes me appreciate her work.
