‘Silver Cup’ played and beguiled but I decided to sleep on it, coming back again revealed something folk but somehow breaking free of feeling nostalgic and steadfastly stuck to that traditional sound. ‘Silver Cup’ succeeds due to the subtle soundtrack, strings so swoonsome, but down in the main to Emma’s expressive vocals which are conversational and melodious at once, forlorn and hopeful and inspiring a tear down a cheek which we weren’t sure was one of joy or sadness. In a word it is beautiful, a Song for solitude, written with Aaron David Gleason via TikTok, where for once the feeling is of completeness. KH
