Emily Elbert & Dani Murcia
We Who Believe in Freedom, the fifth album from Emily Elbert, provides both a thoughtful meditation on the status quo and heartening call-to-action for our inner activist. In a merging of groove-laden soul and introspective folk styles, Elbert shares her reflections on todays political climate, and also brings a new light to the work of revolutionary artists like Marvin Gaye and Pete Seeger. In intimate, stripped recordings, Elberts voice and guitar work serve as clear channels for messages of peace and justice, as relevant now as ever before.
In 2018, L.A. Weekly named Emily among the Best of L.A. Music, noting that Elbert would be considered remarkable just for her guitar playing, which segues from hard-edged funk and blues to subtle jazz intricacy. But shes an equally adept vocalist, weaving her soulful phrasing nimbly within the rhythms of her guitar chords. In addition to her solo work, Emily has contributed her voice and guitar to projects by Esperanza Spalding, Dweezil Zappa, and Phishs Mike Gordon, and co-wrote Bruno Major's viral hit Easily. On tour, she has opened for artists like G. Love & Special Sauce, Emily King, Leon Russell, and Richie Havens, and played 1200+ independent shows in 30 countries around the world.
In the opening song on her new album, Elbert beckons to listeners, hold on for the healing, family / all voices needed / to speak up and to listen, to act on intention / weve got work to do. This album is an expression of her own work, a true prayer for peace and justice - in turn, providing a soundtrack for progress to come. We Who Believe in Freedom will be available on all platforms October 24.
Dani Murcia is an independent R&B/Soul songwriter from Miami, currently based in Boston, attending Berklee College of Music. Her music combines the heart and soul of R&B with the simplicity of popular music to easily and organically convey stories of love, life, and death. Her debut EP, the In My Mind EP, was released summer of 2017 and can be found on all streaming platforms. Her next collaborative project, Her Songs is expected for release at the end of October 2018.
