Winner of 'Must be the Music' releases solo album
For her, everything is simple, the feeling is natural so all she needs to do is pick up a guitar and set words to the music she is singing using that 'folky' voice and inspiring her fans with deep meaningful lyrics.
Hailing from Edinburgh, Scotland, Emma's Gillespie AKA as Emma's Imagination has just released her first solo album 'Stand Still' which shows how powerful, talented and passionate a singer can be coming from ordinary people.
In September 2010, she won Sky One's Music Show 'Must be the Music' not only by conquering judges, Dizzee Rascal, Jamie Cullum and Sharleen Spiteri but also by becoming the favourite of more than 10 thousands fans all over the country who voted for her to win the show.
Now, just after 4 months of this, Emma's Imagination has become a reality for the british music industry with innovative and touching songs, some of them melancholic, others more cheerful and upbeat and a performance that probably will remind us of Dido, Amy Macdonald or even the female version of Damien Rice.
Despite all of this there is one thing to remain: the talent, the music is there, it is alive in each of the 10 compositions that 'Stand Still' collects, a deep and musical journey through all sorts of emotions and feelings.
The album includes two covers, 'Drive' by Bic Runga and 'Falling slowly' from the film 'Once' that won best song a couple of years ago at the Academy Awards and it was produced by the acclaimed Martin Terefe -who once took James Morrison and K.T. Tunstall to success.
It also includes, the melancholic 'Focus' and the upbeat 'This Day' both compositions that she previously sang in the competition and that already crashed in the top ten UK charts last year.
Emma's favourite topics are love, relationships, the joy of life... she remind us the view that a 27 year old girl has about love and life.
The is not better place to listen to Emma's Imagination that in a place where you feel more comfortable, might be your own room, a cosy living room and why not? with someone special.
As Emma would say, her songs are delicate and might come from a very deep and special place that only she knows: her imagination.
