eMiLy AdaMs

I almost threw this song away. I wrote it many years ago, at a time when I was in a very vulnerable place. It sat on my hard drive for many years, and when I finally went back through my material, I saw the title and reflexively sent it to the trash bin. Fortunately, there was a rough MP3 of it waiting in ambush. As soon as I heard it, I realized what a gem it was and rescued it from its cyber fate. It is truly one of the most beautifully raw tunes that I have ever written. Listening to the first production…

Oh, this song... How is it already 26 years old, and how do I still love it just as much, if not more? All of the beautiful feelings that it still gives me have been poured into my own dreamy version of this gorgeous track. I hope you will love it as much as I do. Special thanks to my creative partner, Dan Marfisi, who never fails to help bring the magic to any project. 

Get it here and everywhere else.

I’ve started a little side project of putting my own twist on some great tunes in an effort to introduce my sound to some new listeners. This first one feels like a full circle moment for me, as The Police were one of my earliest influences. I spun Regatta De Blanc and Ghost in the Machine on my record player countless times, played Synchronicity on my Sony Walkman so much that it eventually snapped, and Day on the Green (with Oingo Boingo, The Thompson Twins, The Fixx & Madness) during the Synchronicity…

Lose and find yourself in Lost, the next single from eMiLy AdaMs’ anticipated double LP. The track explores the existential crisis in a zero-gravity landscape, which feels simultaneously foreign and isolated, yet familiar and optimistic. The mid-tempo intergalactic groove drops 7.24.26. 

A heavy heart, a world seemingly gone wild, a need for comfort and the power of music all converged to influence the creation of Fall Away more than two decades ago. The lilting, melodic track infused with love and optimism finally comes to life at a time when the world is in desperate need of both. Thoughtfully paired upon its release with a cinematic counterpart set in the picturesque Santa Cruz region of California, Fall Away is strong cosmic medicine for an ailing world.

In her new single, Emily Adams…

This is poor Dan, while I make the final push to wrap up the vocals on all of my tracks. I wrote another one a couple of weeks back, which I believe is a beautiful piece of the puzzle that I didn’t even know was missing, and truly is the icing on the cake. We are producing that one now.

This is also my brain while I finalize artwork, lie awake at night fretting over the order of the tracks (I’ve got that one finally figured out), agonize over what to wear for photo shoots, prepare to update my web site and…
