Emily Henry is a DC-based singer-songwriter who performs her own personal brand of elegant electro-infused indie pop. Known for her powerful yet sweet vocals and an authentic musical instinct, she has been compared to artists such as Joni Mitchell and Sylvan Esso.
Her debut EP, Matchsticks, unearths the complex emotions hidden inside stories both fictional and true, the spoken and the unspoken, in the little moments and in the transformational turning points — all done with a light folk-infused touch and a razor-sharp pop sensibility.
Emily Henry's sophomore work, entitled The New World, the album is an eight-track collection of dynamic pop songs oozing with an atmospheric haze. Finding inspiration in “stories about love and magic and what it means to be a person,” the full-length album is “all about vulnerability and connection, feeling your way in the dark toward something new,” confides the songwriter. The result is a brilliant collection of sparkling tunes that resonate deeply.
