Miss Emily – Stand Together, Band Together – Single Review – noblepr

Review By Darren McIntyre

Emily Fennell aka Miss Emily is a powerhouse vocalist from Prince Edward County, Ontario, Canada who began her singing career by spending summers competing & winning dozens of County Fair singing contests. For more than 20yrs she has channelled those principles, never shying away from an open conversation about struggles, abuse and old – school promoters, domestic violence and sharing it with her audience. Miss Emily is a Juno Nominated & Maple Blues Award Winner which saw her win in 2019 Female Vocalist Of The Year, Newcomer Of The Year & Video Of The Year, 2021 – 2023 Vocalist Of The Year and 2022 Nominated Blues Album, Miss Emily returns on the 7th November with new album The Medicine and to wet our appetites she drops epic new single Stand Together, Band Together which I will be reviewing for you today, please settle in, grab a cold one a prepare to be dazzled by this smoulderingly fantastic track.

Stand Together, Band Together – The live track comes to life with a punchy snare drum beat that lets the track ooze from the stage as a nice, sweet, clean guitar lick wanders freely through the intro. ,Miss Emily unleashes her colossal blues soaked vocals as this mesmerising arrangement takes shape as the band wrap themselves around this emotion filled classy composition. The addition of blues soaked Hammond style keys really lets the track breathe as the song builds with ease as the musicality just shines through, the cool rhythm section is commanding the groove as a delicious low end drops in and hits us with mellow, groove laden tones that just let the track settle in and weave it’s way through this fantastic, well thought out piece that just showcases the impressive, soulful, blues soaked vocals that are running effortlessly through this toe tapping country, blues affair. We feel the slick, crisp guitar licks come through and they work so well with the epic keys that just add that something special to this fantastic number.
