E.A.Poets Approved/Bands We Like – Emma Hunter
Good Day Noir Family,
our “E.A.Poets Approved/Bands We Like” section is dedicated to Emma Hunter. I discovered this Duo while shuffling songs on Spotify and I liked their refined style.
This duo offers a very interesting sound. A way of composing music that looks to the past but manages to be modern at the same time.
While listening to their music I found myself wandering the streets of London in 1930 in my smoke-soaked clothes and made peace with myself in the fog of the English capital.
This music would be perfect as a James Bond movie soundtrack, a refined and unique sound that manages to impress the listener.
Emma’s voice is fantastic, warm, and sinuous and manages to reach directly to the listener’s heart and soul.
A nice discovery that I recommend to everyone.
Here I Go is Emma Hunter’s Ep Out Now!
Vintage and Refined!
