“I want to help people to release, cry, and let it out,” Emily Wurramara said of her emotional new single ‘Midnight Blues’.
Emily Wurramara has released her latest single, a stirring blues-rock ballad titled ‘Midnight Blues’.
Co-produced by Wurramara and James Mangohig, the stream-of-consciousness single boasts an anthemic full-bodied chorus, and sees the Nipaluna/Hobart-based artist look back on a tumultuous year marred by postpartum depression, alcohol and attempts on her own life — as guided by the love of her mother and community.
“It’s precious to show people why this life is beautiful and worth sticking around for,” Wurramara said of ‘Midnight Blues’ in a press statement. “I want to help people to release, cry, and let it out… I want ‘Midnight Blues’ to be a safe space to feel.”
The single features Wurramara on keys, alongside Mangohig on bass, guitarist Ben Edgar and drummer Rowan Dally.
Wurramara will launch ‘Midnight Blues’ — a follow up to February single ‘Magic Woman Dancing’ — with a special headline show on Gadigal Country on April 5.
The show will take place at Waywards, and will feature both unreleased music with a full band, and an on-stage conversation with Wurramara and Mangohig. Special guests will also appear at the show.
Following that, Wurramara is slated to perform a slew of live dates throughout April, with shows booked for Port Macquarie’s Ride The Wave festival (April 6), and Hobart’s ALTAR alongside DENNI & Jimmy Kyle (April 13).
Wurramara will also perform as part of The Gum Ball festival in the Hunter Valley from April 26 to April 28.
