Emm Gryner - Accomplished Canadian songwriter has been making exceptional music for more than fifteen years, combining confessional piano (sm)art/pop melodies, Lilith-Fair-era folk musings and, lately, brisk, radio-friendly tunecraft...Bono once named her "Almighty Love" as one of six songs he'd written over the last 20 years...new project, produced by early Gryner collaborator Stuart Brawley (Emmy Rossum), is a mostly upbeat outing that's not afraid to lay on the dense sonic trappings // Release : Northern Gospel (September 6, Dead Daisy US: Digital only) // Sounds like: there's a distinctive scent of 70's pop song [...]
Emm Gryner: [ The End ] I wish my heart would just explode and be done with it.
Emm Gryner definitely brings a new flavour to the Indie music scene with Northern Gospel. If there is any indication that this album is worthy of a listen, or two (or heck, should be on repeat on your Ipod) is the opening number "Ciao Monday". And the album continues—continues with ballads, light-hearted numbers and pleasantly surprising, deep lyrics. Gryner stays true to her piano-ballad roots instead of choosing a whole new direction for this album—which for many fans I'm sure is refreshing because sometimes we just want to hear what we first fell in love [...]

But there are still some important albums coming out this week, including: Asa Drawn Ships The Golden Seals Emm Gryner- Review Grace Jones Listen To Me Buddy Holly Nihiti Paley & Francis The Rapture Samiam Samantha Savage Smith- Review
Some things we Canadians take for granted. Hockey season will bring everything to a standstill, it will be cold in February, black flies will swarm us in June, and any new Emm Gryner album will be good. Well, the last one proves to be true as Gryner releases her new studio album Northern Gospel. The obvious standout is the opening number "Ciao Monday". The delightfully catchy song deserves a
My, my -- has it already been a dozen years since we caught Canadian singer/songwriter Emm Gryner at the long-gone Fez club in New York City? The interesting thing is that Ms. Gryner has -- unlike most artists -- actually gotten better over the years. A stronger songwriter (and she was always very good). More charismatic live performer (ditto). So beyond the flashback, we were happy to learn that Ms. Gryner is returning with a brand new album [...]

Ash, Emm Gryner & Warpaint cover a trio of tunes for Ash Wednesday.
This looks pretty cool. The Side Street Project is a unique and exhilarating combo of solo performances, conversations and exclusive musical collaborations on classic cover songs by three artists on one stage. Holy Fuck , Buck 65 and Emm Gryner are the first participants in an episode that will premier across Canada on Super Channel in HD and SD on Saturday, September 25, 7pm, EST. Here's the setlist for show #1. Note the cover of Def Leppard 'Pour Some Sugar On Me'. Here's [...]
It's almost tragic that Emm Gryner remains one of Canadian music's best kept secrets. There are precious few singers who give us vocals as consistently gorgeous as hers. She treats us to more with her brand new EP Stray Bullets. The lead-off track, "Almighty Love", is a cut that will be featured on Gryner's upcoming duets album (due out in August). The song sees her trade powerful vocals with
Waterford-born Gilbert O'Sullivan plays the University Concert Hall, Limerick, this Tuesday, March 23rd. He was born Raymond Edward O'Sullivan in December 1946 and moved to Swindon with his family in 1960. There, he became interested in music and moved from the guitar to the instrument for which he later became renowned: the piano. He was [...]
When The Darkness hit the scene in the 2003, critics began braying about the "hair metal revival." Well, as it turned out that "revival" was pretty much confined to one band and, really, to one song. Once college kids got sick of shredding their vocal chords trying to hit the "I Believe in a Thing Called Love" high notes, hair metal slunk back to 1984. This is probably a good thing, though it
Part five in an ongoing series . With two little girls in the family, and a deliberate tendency towards inclusion over babysitters, Valentine's Day seems to have become a family affair by default. This year, for example, what was originally intended as a suggestion for a romantic afternoon has somehow turned into plans for a nice brunch out with the four of us, followed by a family hottub soak - though I'm not saying what might follow once the kids are abed. It's nice to think of Valentine's as [...]
The first entry by a female singer on this chronological overview of my favourite albums from the last ten years is the second Canadian album on my list. Songs of Love and Death (2005) is Emm Gryner's eight album and it was her second full album of cover versions. Her earlier effort, Girl Versions (2001), featured her interpretations of hard rock songs, while this one features eleven versions of songs originally recorded by Irish acts. So, I guess that makes this the second Irish album on my list. I first heard the album when a promo cd turned [...]
Canadian singer-songwriter Allison Crowe , who has made a career of covering, crafting and performing warm, lyrical songs with little more than an intensely rich, emotional voice, strong piano skills, and a heap of moxie, was recently refused entry into the UK for a music festival , a casualty of the United Kingdom's increasingly stringent rules for touring artists, which in turn seem to be part and parcel of the insane and inappropriately panicked global response to the fear of terrorism. We've covered Allison's work here before, and her manager Adrian even offered us some [...]
