Emma-Lee is a singer/songwriter who hails from Toronto Canada. She has a great voice and a cool idea, she hops in the back of passing cars and gives them an impromptu song. And she has a new album out called Backseat Heroine.
Someone is smiling down on Emma-Lee. The Toronto singer-songwriter has recovered from two vocal cord operations since 2006, yet her voice remains unhindered. In an age where pop-soul songstress Adele wins big at the Grammys, Emma-Lee fits right in. This may be her sophomore full-length but her dynamic with collaborators suggests a friendly level of professionalism. In spite of its heavyhearted inspirations, Emma-Lee’s Backseat Heroine sounds downright triumphant. The album is primarily comprised of pop compositions fleshing out folk, soul and rock song structures. The Leslie Feist comparisons and jazz-influenced numbers remain in the past with her 2008 album, Never Just a Dream. With this growth, there is a sense of uninhibited dignity.
So sit back, in your back seat maybe, and enjoys the sounds of Emma-Lee.
I've heard of house concerts, but a concert in your car is totally unique. Way cool.
