EP Review - The Table - Emma Moore

After releasing a teaser single Husbands or Kids, Emma Moore is back with the full EP release of The Table.  This is a body of work that Emma is clearly proud of, and she has sent out a press release with almost her own review attached – showing the level of attachment she has to her music!

Speaking of the EP as a whole Emma says

This record is full of life - full of stories, opinions, realisations, decisions, reactions, emotions, confessions and so much more. In the end, or in short, I put all my sh*t out on the table.

The EP opens with the single Husbands or Kids which we previously reviewed here It’s a rocky song, displaying Emma’s powerful vocals, an attention grabbing kick off!

Late to the Table gives the EP its title.  Slower paced, calmer, it is a tale of the reality of womanhood contrasted against cliché.  The melody softens the delivery of the message – because not everything needs to be shouted!  Waiting For You continues the gentler style, and both of these tracks show that Emma has a softer side to her performance, a powerful yet controlled voice.  She makes the song sound very personal and emotive as she sings of the feelings around falling for someone who doesn’t fall for you!

The tempo increases with Blinded.  Whether you are a country music lover who loves to dance or one that loves to drink this song gives you the villain figure and fires you up. It’s a good country song.

When brings all the emotions!  It is the obligatory cheating lover song, but with Emma’s vocals and the stunning instrumentation it is an absolute heartbreaker of a song. Although it is from the perspective of “the other woman” you will still find yourself siding with her, and remembering that there is always another side to every story.

To round off the EP brings back the rock with Match Made In Hell. Heavy drum line and Emma’s slightly grittier vocals combine in a tale of not waiting around to see if you’re a perfect match!

It would be tough to try and pick a “best song” from this collection, and to do so would be unfair.  Six songs that are Emma at her absolute best – in performance and song writing.  Capturing the traditions of Country Music with a modern style the EP deserves a wide audience – and so does Emma. 

As it is an ep featuring a lot of female empowerment and female emotions, the last word has to come from our own Francesca

It’s an emotional rollercoaster, but the instrumentation also makes me feel like I am travelling – travelling along with Emma!
