Dubbed “UK’s queen of jazz-fusion”, critically acclaimed vocalist, spoken word artist and songwriter Emily Saunders takes any stage by storm.
In support of her upcoming new album, Emily balances virtuosity and adventurous musicianship of the highest order, with a catchy pop sensibility that sees her voice dance around infectious tunes that worm their way into your brain and stay there.
As a socially conscious wordsmith and supremely talented songwriter, many of Emily’s songs reflect on society, the fragility of people and the strength of connectivity, oozing hazy sunshiny days and hot sultry nights. Her heady mix of Latin-infused hip swaying grooves, with driving basslines, infectious melodies, and edges of drum ‘n’ bass, pronounced Saunders as “one for the jazz dance clubs”.
Emily’s music has achieved Top 10 in international iTunes and Amazon charts in the UK, USA, Germany, France and Indonesia, receiving multiple 4 star reviews including: Evening Standard, Guardian, Independent, and Daily Telegraph. Her music has received plays on BBC Radio 1, 2, 3, 4, 6Music, Jazz FM as well as national stations around the world.
