$Four images alternate, each to represent a different song from Emma's new EP, Sailing Home. Each contains Emma's distinctive logo, a square with one letter from her name in each corner. In the first image the lighting is dim, with Emma looking up an to the left of the image. The background is dark blue, Emma's hair is in a low ponytail that sits on her shoulder. She is in a denim shirt, and she wears an earring in the shape of a crescent moon. Yellow light from the right of the image casts a shadow of the earring onto Emma's neck. The second image has water flowing down like rain from the top of the image. Emma in a blue, 1950s bathing suit has her hands locked in a prayerful position, looking up pleadingly to the sky. A wooden fence forms the background. Her outstreched arms create a triangular shape. In the third image, Emma hovers over a vase of clear water looking into it. A green ethereal light is cast across her face. The background is white, she wears a white vest, and the table is white. The image is somewhat fractured, almost as though being seen through shards of glass. For the final image, Emma is wrapped in a black, silk chiffon shroud, with one arm wrapped around herself. it is a mid-shot with a 3/4 view of her face. She appears glamorous under the shroud, her eyes are somewhat glazed.$

“A captivating E.P…a refreshing change to the mundane pop that is pumped into the music charts these days. There is so much emotion [in] Emma’s songs; In ‘Cervantes’, Emma O’Reilly’s voice is… haunting, and genuinely gave me the chills whilst listening to it.”

Sailing Home set for release August 14th, to be toured with The Céadaoin Collective

With Sailing Home I’ve moved into an exploration of contemporary folk. In the music you’ll find explorations of myth, magic, power, dislocation, and the concept of home – it can be something mental, something physical, something you keep yourself, or something you share with others. It can be a place we come back to, or a place we leave.

The tour I’ve set up for this release is my first in Ireland for 10 years. To set this music in the context of folk and traditional music, I’ve formed a new group with some friends – The Céadaoin Collective. Robert Harvey, a champion Flautist and Irish Traditional music royalty, Carmel Whelan, a highly sought-after vocalist, composer, and choral director, Andrew Kin Yip Yau, an accomplished performer and orchestral musician across a range of instruments, and Niall Mannion, a widely respected Violinist and Pianist will be a part of bring this EP to life Live, in arrangements exclusive to the group. Check out our live dates here.
