Emma Blackery is nothing if not very busy. A singer-songwriter who’s probably equally known for her YouTube vlogging, as well as her writing – she released her debut book last year, ‘Feel Good 101: The Outsiders’ Guide to a Happier Life<\/a>\"\"‘, based on a series of videos on her main YouTube channel – she’s been releasing music 2012. She’s also toured extensively, most notably for us here at EP, when she supported Busted and Wheatus on their UK tour in 2016<\/a>. ‘Villains’, out tomorrow, is her first full length album, after five EPs.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The eleven track ‘Villains<\/strong>‘ is a deeply personal and therefore highly introspective album, but for those of us who are familiar with Blackery’s music, this shouldn’t come as any surprise – her previous most recent release ‘Magnetised<\/a>\"\"‘ was also a concept album which looked inside her life. Opening – and closing – with ‘Villians’, we’re immediately struck by the musical style, which is a lot more pop\/rock than that of ‘Magnetised’. Her vocal technique is also appealing, there’s a really pleasant lispy way of singing, which we quite enjoy.<\/p>\n
