Ahead of the release of her long-awaited debut album ‘First Love’, Clash met up with Emmy The Great for a special, super-intimate acoustic performance.
The London-based singer will tour her debut throughout February, calling in at just about every corner of the UK. Just how many corners does the UK have? Is it some sort of dodecahedron? What are we talking about here: geometry or music?
Music, mercifully – Clash was never much cop with angles, as proven by our billiards skills.
The album’s title track – the first song played in our exclusive session with Emmy – is released as a single on February 23; the album itself is released on February 9.
