Earlier this year, Emma Tricca delivered her fourth album, Aspirin Sun. The album received excellent reviews across the music press, including Folk Radio:
It might be an album that captures change in its moment of occurring, but one thing hasn’t changed: Tricca is still one of our most valuable and interesting songwriters, capable of strange and beautiful sonic flights of fancy and unexpected lyrical turns. Aspirin Sun is her best yet.

Today, Emma Tricca shares her spellbinding new single, “Rubies”, recorded with folk legend Bridget St John (who we recently interviewed here). The single is released ahead of several live shows playing that they will be together next month, in both the UK & Italy, including a London show at Café OTO – dates and info below.
Commenting on the track, Tricca says: “This is a song about being an outsider, not fitting in in to any scene, or even trying to. When I wrote it, Bridget’s voice was all I could think of, so I reached out and she came into the studio with us in July to lay down the track. The coda is an homage to Bridget’s song ‘Ask Me No Questions’. I’m very grateful that the full band and Jesse Chandler from Midlake could join us to make this tune happen.”
