New Emma’s Imagination Album On The Way!

21/06/2014 by Tom Roden

We love Emma Gillespie (AKA Emma’s Imagination). We may have had a bit of an uncertain relationship with her first album, but we’re all past that. She’s come a long way since her big break on Sky’s Must Be The Music, and lucky us: she’s just announced that a new album is on the way. Gillespie has been pretty quiet so far in 2014. Nobody’s really heard too much from her since her Underway EP, but we’ve been eager to hear […]

Emma’s Imagination – Underway EP Review

02/10/2013 by Tom Roden

Emma Gillespie, AKA Emma’s Imagination, first came to our attention through Sky One talent show ‘Must Be The Music’ and, from there, was propelled into the spotlight and released her debut album soon after. All in all, it was an awfully quick affair. Fast forward almost three years and Emma has only just released some new material, in the form of ‘Underway’. And time has certainly made all the difference. With the opening notes of first track ‘Let You Go’, […]

Emma’s Imagination – Pour It Out Review

30/09/2013 by Tom Roden

Emma Gillespie is back in style with the release of ‘Pour It Out’, the lead single of new EP ‘Underway’. Those of you who are familiar with Emma Gillespie, who goes by the stage name Emma’s Imagination, will know the type of music that she is associated with. And those who read my review of her debut album ‘Stand Still‘ will remember that I summed parts of it up as ‘sugary acoustic-pop’ and that ‘prolonged listening may lead to diabetes’, […]

Emma’s Imagination – ‘Stand Still’ Album Review

22/12/2012 by Tom Roden

‘Stand Still‘ is the stunningly beautiful debut by Emma’s Imagination. Over the course of 10 tracks and 33 minutes Emma Gillespie treats us to some fantastic guitar work and melodious vocals, backed up by transcendental string arrangements that add depth to the tracks. And with lyrics adhering to the philosophy of ‘Carpe Diem’ and instrumentation that would pique the interest of most music fans, Gillespie has done a great job at appealing to an audience. One of the key things […]

Introducing…Emma’s Imagination

07/12/2012 by Tom Roden

Emma’s Imagination rose to popularity in 2010 following Sky One’s music show Must Be The Music, which she eventually won. Although she seems to have faded from public attention, she is this week’s featured musician because her music deserves to be heard by as many people as possible. Born Emma Gillespie, the musician’s unique acoustic-alternative style can often be characterised by what can only be described as a ‘happy sound’. In fact both the songs which she performed on Must […]
