Emily's Escape

EMILY´S ESCAPE - is a description of the piano-based songs from german-american songwriter Veronika Emily based in Hamburg. Her songs keep the project name’s promises: They offer a musical refuge in which Emily´s extraordinary voice enthralls the audience with poetical lyrics over enticing melodies. At her shows she manages to take her audience into a kind of different world, touching them with a fragil yet decisive charme and making the audience forget about every-day-life at least for the time of her show.

In November 2011 EMILY´S ESCAPE showcased a first selection of studio recordings on the self-titled EP, gaining much respect from local radio stations and press reviews. Her innovative songwriting fuses classical folk-background with pop, jazz and soul to form her own unmistakable, very personal note. While the quiet ‘May I Stay’ generates its suspense through voice and piano alone, in songs like ‘Exile’ and ‘Dreamer’, bass, percussions, cello and organ add surprising extra peaks to the arrangement.

After touring in Germany with her Band in 2012, EMILY'S ESCAPE is currently recording a long player, due to be released in 2013.
