Debuting earlier this year with ‘Counting to 3’, Florida-based songstress Emma Forgette has since amassed a sizeable catalogue of both evocative and fierce pop gems, often infused over a charming country livery. Featuring ‘Somebody’s Somebody’ in the spring, we proudly celebrated it as “a bold and heartfelt tune that hits you right in the feels with raw and genuine emotion”.
While that tune was mostly acoustic, Forgette’s latest record ‘Me and the Moon’ seems to be wanting to fill the same shoes, albeit with a sizeable cinematic charge in it. Leaving behind drums and electric guitars, ‘Me and the Moon’ feels like a poignant, melancholic soundtrack, a stunning slice of songwriting prowess and luscious vocals. In it, keen listeners will be able to appreciate Emma’s powerful tone and her personal, relatable lyricism.
The song was originally written by acclaimed songwriters John Tirro and Sam Gay, and it makes a lot of sense, as it’s certainly more expansive than Forgette’s usual releases. It’s good to be able to appreciate the American creative in a rather new light. Speaking about the song, she explains: “It tells the story of a woman longing for a love she has lost. The moon becomes her companion in the quiet of the night, sharing in her memories and heartache.”
Now, Emma is facing an extremely bright future, having just signed for MC1 Nashville/The Orchard (a division of Sony Music). Look out for Forgette’s upcoming single ‘Woman’, expected in January.
