Emily, a natural songwriter, musician and poet, has a rare talent for capturing stories and moods in their very essence, delivering them with a voice that ranges from the most intimate of whispers to the strongest of wails. She describes her own music style as introspective alternative folk, written with a rock ‘n’ roll heart.
“…with her powerfully quivering voice – at times she calls to mind Buffy Sainte-Marie and a more focused Cat Power – and the sometimes dreamscape settings with strings and keening guitar, these songs are more elegantly monochrome than downright “doom-folk” (her description)” – Graham Reid, Elsewhere.co.nz
“Fairlight’s songs leng themselves to Americana, still there is also something universal about them, and the best ones here distil moments of emotional turmoil into palpable images anyone could feel” – Nick Bollinger, Radio New Zealand
