"A Woman, A Woman, A Century of Sleep" By Emmy The Great. It wasn't quite love at first listen with regard to Emmy The Great's debut album ' First Love', purely because we'd become smitten with Emmy's oeuvre long before her debut. She was probably one of the first artists we'd discovered via myspace (remember that kids? Back in the day before Murdoch's money poisoned the well rendering it completely unusable?) We were drawn to her wit, her natural melody, her poetic lyricism and her idiosyncratic musings. So in a sense, [...]
"...c'est pour les gamins quoi, les gamins ils ont grandi avec les clips, de la musique sans images pour eux c'est... c'est... je sais pas, c'est nul tu vois, c'est nul bouh, c'est nul et c'est comme ça. Mais ça c'est la génération 90 si tu veux mon avis, c'est des mecs... ouais? [le serveur vient prendre la commande] un perrier citron. Non enfin... oui rondelle. Merci. La génération 90 quoi,
You gotta hand it to someone who has the cajones to call themselves "Emmy the Great." Born Emma Lee-Moss, she took the stage name of "Emmy the Great" because "Emmy the Fantabulously-Most-Unprecedent edly-Mucho-Gooder-Than-You" was too long. I think she made the right choice. Her blend of folk/indie/pop music is really soothing to hear. For some reason, the first word I think of when I hear her songs is "Innocence." [...]

Emmy The Great - We Almost Had A Baby The best video of the year, obviously, as it features a toy lemur:

With it's dream-like symphony of '50's pop twinkle, angelic girl group harmony, and singer-songwriter Emmy The Great' s cutesy baby-doll vocal coating the ears with such cavity-inducing sweetness, a casual listen to "We Almost Had A Baby" will surely have one immersed within the fond remembrances of the pure, naive days of early teen-dom. But once you really tune in beneath it's swaying surface to the words tenderly floating out of Em's mouth, the realization quickly hits that at "Baby"'s center, there's very little actual sweetness being put forth. A deeper dig reveals Emmy to be a [...]
We've written about Emmy The Great before , but we're incredibly lazy and sometimes it's just easier to stick to what you know, OK? Plus, she has a new single out called 'We Almost Had a Baby', and it's got a baby in the video wearing a really nice knitted hat. It's always nice to see that I think. So here it is: The song's about how someone nearly made the decision to have a child with someone who, judging by the video at least, isn't really ready for it. [...]
