Published works
Albums
Never Just a Dream
She released her debut album Never Just a Dream in 2008 to critical acclaim from the Toronto Star and the Globe and Mail.[5] The album was picked up by Bumstead Records and re-released on March 3, 2009. Her vocal style is frequently compared to k.d. lang,[6] Norah Jones[7] and Feist.[8] No Depression magazine described Never Just a Dream as "an album so full of ideas and potential that it is hard to know how to properly frame a description of its contents. It is a collection of songs that is far more than the sum of its influences"[9] and dubbed her "the voice to remember from 2009."[9]
Emma-Lee's song "That Sinking Feeling" was featured as the single of the week on iTunes Canada.[10]
In November 2016 she released her first Christmas recording "It Won't Be Christmas" (by songwriters Karen Kosowski & Julie Crochetière) to radio and iTunes.[11]
Backseat Heroine
On February 7, 2012, she released her long-awaited second album Backseat Heroine, co-produced by Emma-Lee, Karen Kosowski and Marc Rogers.[12] The album features collaborations with Nicole Atkins, Jill Barber and Luke Doucet.[13] Most of the album was tracked at The Chalet, a studio near Uxbridge, Ontario.[14] Backseat Heroine blends multiple musical genres including pop, country, soul and rock. According to her online biography, "Emma-Lee's goal was to make a record that lived and breathed in its own world and could cross genres while still being a soundscape that was complete from start to finish."[15]
