About the Album

Critically-acclaimed vocalist, songwriter, producer Emily Saunders releases 'Time Ticks', the latest single to be lifted from her hugely anticipated forthcoming third album, 'Moon Shifts Oceans', out February 2025. Celebrated for her soulful voice, innovative production techniques, and deeply profound lyrics, Time Ticks is a gorgeous, hypnotic and meditative piece - Emily’s voice takes centre stage as her spatial ethereal melodies float and soar over pulsating grooves, leading to a powerful epic climatic cascade of guitars and synths. “Releasing Time Ticks for Christmas seemed the perfect opportunity to celebrate the passing of time; a moment to remember those we miss, those who shaped our lives, and those who left too soon” says Emily. “This is my chance to share this intimate recording with you and to remind us that heartfelt memories and the passing of time can help centre us as we contemplate the importance of connection." ~ Time ticks and people pass, boats drift floating on the waters by I think of you as the one with who, I rest my thoughts and know wisdom ~ "Nothing is left adrift, left unfelt, left unsaid — time is on our side." “In Time Ticks, I vocalise these reflective and tender moments with reassuring meditative and hypnotic beats knowing that with a song and an open heart we can move forward uplifted.” Emily’s works are celebrated for their innovation and emotional depth, and ‘Time Ticks’ is no exception, delivering a powerful message through her signature sound with a comforting richness to every note - she once again seamlessly blends virtuosity and adventurous musicianship of the highest order. Hailing from London, raised in Brixton, Emily’s music has already made waves in the music industry, achieving Top 10 in international iTunes and Amazon charts in the UK, USA, Germany, France and Indonesia. Her work has garnered multiple 4-star reviews from renowned publications such as: the Evening Standard, The Guardian, The Independent, and The Daily Telegraph. Her music has also received widespread radio play on BBC Radio1, 2, 3, 4, 6, Jazz FM and numerous national stations across the globe, from the US and Japan, to Australia, Germany, Italy, Spain, Denmark, Turkey, New Zealand, Mexico, South Africa and more. “There really is no-one like her and that in itself is where the magic is” Simon Phillips (Jazz FM)
