Editorial Reviews

2009 debut album from the 'Anti-Folk' singer/songwriter. Emma-Lee Moss, known by her stage name of Emmy the Great, is a London based singer-songwriter. Moss was born in Hong Kong, and as a child she emigrated with her family to London. Produced by bandmates Euan Hinshelwood (Younghusband) and Tom Rogerson with help from The Earlies, First Love sees Emmy deliver an album of Folk and Indie Pop-inspired songs similar in vein to Holly Throsby, KT Tunstall and Noah and The Whale. 12 tracks including the first single 'We Almost Had a Baby'. Close Harbour.

5.0 out of 5 stars Her Name Doesn't Lie, March 3, 2009

Matt Poole "Prying Open Your Third Eye" (Louisville, KY USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: First Love (Audio CD)

Plain and simply, this is one of the most accessible, yet emotional and artistic albums to come out in a while.

Emmy's voice is subtle in it's beauty, but there's plenty of beauty there. She has creative lyrics that tell many tales, and not in a long time has someone made human emotions sound so good.

I highly recommend this!

5.0 out of 5 stars I Can't Stop Listening To This Album, June 23, 2009

This review is from: First Love (MP3 Download)

This album is a "rare rare find" (to quote a Nick Drake lyric) in that it is, to me, one of every 50 or so albums I buy that I actually bond with. I was actually sad when the album was over. Her clear voice, brilliant lyrics, empathic style, and brilliant music certainly do make her Emmy The Great. I cannot endorse this album enough. There's something sweet to her vocals though the lyrics can be biting and truthful. It will be your best friend.

5.0 out of 5 stars Second-best album of 2009, July 3, 2011

This review is from: First Love (Audio CD)

After Death's ...For the Whole World to See. Unlike another reviewer of a different edition, I don't find the songs on First Love "twee" or "fluffy" in the least. Sharp and substantial, I would call them. (Amazon has clips from the album here, so you can gauge for yourself.) I do agree that the disc to get is the one with the four bonus tracks off the Edward EP.
