I have listened to this album for the first time today and found myself crying probably because it brought me back to when I was younger and a huge fan of Lush. How unbearably sad it is to get older. That aside Lush remain one of my favourite bands even today. Thank you Emma.

[@johnmeowzer8333]

I hear you. This music makes it easier tho.

[@sergeius8921]

Just be better like good wine ;)

[@kevinconnolly2325]

I am so happy that Emma Anderson is back with her music on her terms. I have been a fan of her songs since 1989/1990. A great writer and guitar player. We must all buy her album and make sure she knows that there are a lot of us who love her music from her time in Lush and Sing Sing. Please continue to make and release music!!!! This made my week.

[@TheDungeonDive]

2023. New albums from Blur, Boo Radleys, Dexys, slowdive, Peter Gabriel, The Cure, and members of Lush? Gen X is happy. :)

[@johnmeowzer8333]

Loop in 2022 also.

[@AllenManor]

Well-done, it's good to see Emma Anderson again. Sounds very nice too -- familiar but also different. She also looks great.

[@BruceBowman42]

She's one of reasons I started playing guitar a few decades ago.

[@philipking6835]

Welcome back Emma.

[@sylvainvernay9642]

The whole album is a real joy. Elegant and dreamy.

[@carlojohnson7256]

What a wonderful surprise! Welcome back to my ears and soul! Thank you for the music!!! ❤🎸🎶

[@DynamoStereo2011]

Beautiful song, reminiscent from some lost 60's sounds.

[@pgbear]

What a lovely surprise. I had no idea that Emma Anderson was about to release new music. A lovely song and a great video too. So nice to see and hear you. Welcome back.

[@eggsngritstn]

Same.

So glad to see Emma back❤️

[@thehaikulibrarian]

I'm still mesmerised by Emma's music and her eyes.

[@swordblaster2596]

Pre-ordered. I liked Sing-Sing a lot. It's a shame about the personalities clashing in that other band, but I'm glad Emma is making music again.

[@RedGoldGreen-Dub]

Gorgeous song welcome back Emma 💓🙂

[@hernantenorio5850]

Muy bueno!

[@ricardoarana9244]

Muy linda voz y una muy bonita cancion

[@shaofu424]

kinda sounds like something from a david lynch film super rad \m/

[@KristalStanley-wf5ll]

Emma is a beautiful soul. She's very aware.

[@Fog99horn]

Very nice.

[@Fog99horn]

In hindsight that was faint praise. Gorgeous is closer to the mark.

[@tahirali4578]

This definitely sounds like a Lush song pre-Lovelife.

[@davidcowley8925]

It's etheriel, not the song, but the lightness of it.

[@brianploszay7202]

enjoyed this

[@Neurozumim]

I discovered about this after hearing two recent songs that sounded incredibly like Lush while playing Fortnite. I was rushing in a (virtual) Pizza Pit car and stopped to listen so much I was amazed of hearing what sounded like Lush music I didn't know about. So I checked and learned about solo Emma Anderson. (The tracks were Mo Dotti - Loser Smile, and Taleen Kali - Only Lovers Left Alive, both great songs but totally copycats of Lush.)

[@erflingnot]

🗣️👉🏻👉🏻👉🏻👉🏻. 👂🏻🍬🪔

[@benedettobruno1669]

I discovered the Pearlies album about a week ago. And I can't stop listening to it day and night. Listening to it is the last thing I do before getting to sleep. As I have been a fan of Lush since the 1990s I would like this album to be re-recorded in a second version played by the remaining members of Lush. Who should I ask for this favour? Emma Anderson? Miki Berenyi? The Universe? God? I do really need to listen to Pearlies album being played by Lush. My request sounds trivial and superficial but it is not. I really really want this.

[@Babaziba]

Great song, surprisingly low-key production though.

[@CatS-mt7wq]

Great tune but, sigh.... this would have been a MASSIVE Lush song with Berenyi on lead vox and Anderson doing harmonies. Too bad they couldn't get it together and record more tracks beyond that stella ep. They were a special band that just had the chemistry.

[@sunshaped]

I think it's fine as it is. Emma's voice is lighter and fresh. I think it's great to showcase her own talents. But..I do agree..that the chemistry in Lush is everything.

[@mershark]

You are SO wrong. The world has not been needing more Lush, it has been needing more Emma Anderson. I am stunned and overjoyed that she is again making music. This is a great start. If you want more Lush, then go buy the vinyl remasters of the three albums.

[@f.w.2054]

Move on people!! Lush was a great band, but when Chris died, it was never the same. Emma is a great musician in her own right and this beautiful song proves it!

[@Neurozumim]

It's more a Damien Jurado vibe than a Lush vibe that's going on here in my opinion.

[@andrewoverton5170]

It so wouldn't. Miki was great in Lush but this isn't Lush and Emma doesn't need anyone to 'improve' the song, her lead vocals are a revelation - probably only to her unbelieving self as her fans always knew there was so much more to Lush than Miki.

[@tamere4676]

Reminiscent of that other band, but better, because the anti-man stuff is gone. Lovely!!

[@Charles-bo8wh]

Beautiful song. Beautiful voice. Welcome back Emma. ❤
