Emily Popli – Lilith Fair Kid

Singer-songwriter Emily Popli is proud to present her debut album Lilith Fair Kid.

Marching behind the tearjerking single “Alight”, the new album is available on most streaming platforms.

The first offering of Lilith Fair Kid came last month, as the release of “Alight” captivated fans of blues-y pop. Together, the soulful vocals of Emily Popli and Matt Giraud accompanied by the melodic electric guitar give the track a vivant feeling.

Other standout tracks on Lilith Fair Kid include “Play” and “The Guy Who Got Away” , which showcase the diversity of the album. With the former poised against an upbeat backdrop describing the sensuality of being in a relationship, while the latter track is a heavy, yet important message unpacking the trauma of sexual assault. “Nothing” is a perfect breakup anthem, filled with melancholy, yet uplifting lyrics painting the narrator as powerful and unphased. Then there’s the impactful finale of the album, “The Elephant”, which discusses the strains of motherhood.

Lilith Fair Kid embraces its audience in a sheen of unapologetic honesty, as Emily Popli shares true stories of struggles she’s undergone and relationships that have changed her. Sonically, the nine tracks that traipse across the album are coated in a 90’s haze, with racing harmonica solos, twangy guitars, and of course, the soulful vocals of Popli. Taking bits and pieces from Sheryl Crow’s vocal style and Sarah McLachlan’s songwriting, the songs display a heartbreaking yet brave vulnerability as she navigates her ongoing struggles with depression.
