Our Song of the Day comes from New York-based singer/songwriter Emma Frank with a cover of Wilco’s ‘Either Way’. On this stripped-back piano version, she not only slows the pace of the original but her timing and vocal delivery bring a heightened personal feel to the song. She leaves intuitive space for the song to breathe making it impossible for the listener to not feel the vulnerability projected through the lyrics, she takes it to another level entirely. Emma Frank is a singer with an incredible depth of perception whose multi-faceted approach to music means we are only just scratching the surface of what she has to offer. Either Way features on her new album, Come Back out September 6th, via Nettwerk.
Born and raised outside of Boston, Emma moved to Montreal in 2006 to study literature at McGill University. Whilst there she began performing regularly, releasing two critically acclaimed albums under her own name on the Montreal-based label, The 270 Sessions and performing vocals and brass with art-pop ensembles She’s Got a Habit and Malcolm Sailor’s Songs. After coming to New York in August of 2015 to perform in Franky Rousseau and Dominic Mekky’schamber opera April, Emma decided to move to Brooklyn. It’s there that she penned the songs on Ocean Av and Come Back.
