Emilia Tarrant returns with stunning ballad ‘September’ from debut EP

Rising singer-songwriter Emilia Tarrant returns with her beautiful new ballad ‘September’, the final single from her debut EP Honeymoon Phase. Guided by delicate acoustic guitar, Emilia’s celestial voice soars through softly-swaying pop melodies as she delivers a tear-jerking performance. Cinematic and emotional, ‘September’ proves that this British songstress has the talent to make it all the way.

Discussing her new release, Emilia reveals: “‘September’ has to be my favourite song from my debut Honeymoon Phase EP. I wrote it with the lovely Archie Faulks back in September (of course) last year, during a time when I was quite reflective on 2020 and the end of summer. I feel September is a month of ‘drawing the curtains’ as autumn arrives, which can be quite tough, and ‘tender’ for some. We took lyrical inspiration from the events of the month, my favourites having to be ‘berries are bitter, the swallows have flown’. I loved exploring this sort of lyricism with Archie, as well as picking up it’s pace with producer Luke Potashnick (Gabrielle Aplin) in the studio. As the final track of the EP, we wanted its production to be quite ethereal; a calming way to encapsulate and reflect on the EP as a collection of thoughts.”

It’s hard to believe that Emilia Tarrant is just 19 years old, having already received consistent support from Spotify and Apple Music editorial playlists, as well as climbing to No. 23 in the Shazam Global charts for her piano-backed single ‘Honeymoon Phase’. Receiving acclaim from the likes of Wonderland, Mahogany, Killing Moon, Up Next Sessions, CLOUT, Lock Magazine, CULTR, Milky Magazine and more, Emilia is certainly proving that she’s a force to be reckoned with.
