Backseat Heroine

It's been a long wait since the release of Emma-Lee's acclaimed 2009 debut, 'Never Just A Dream', but the longest journey often yields the most rewarding arrival. 'Backseat Heroine' marks a brave turning point in the road for an artist once pegged a jazz-pop chanteuse. Her voice, once described as 'powerful and fragile at the same time, with a range and ability to dive around the notes that would make kd lang jealous' is still the star of the show. Thematically 'Backseat Heroine' sounds more defiant and hopeful than its tender, broken-hearted predecessor 'Never Just A Dream'. Emma-Lee's goal was to make a record that lived and breathed in its own world and could cross genres while still being a soundscape that was complete from start to finish… "We may live in a world full of singles but at some point everyone likes to escape and take a little trip".
