Emma-Jean Thackray - Maybe Nowhere

Emma-Jean Thackray
Maybe Nowhere
Releasing digitally on March 25th via Brownswood Recordings

Acclaimed producer, composer, and multi-instrumentalist Emma-Jean Thackray releases her latest single, "Maybe Nowhere”, taken from her highly anticipated sophomore album, 'Weirdo,' set for release on the 25th of April via Brownswood Recordings in conjunction with Parlophone.

"Maybe Nowhere" fearlessly explores a host of complex emotions, blending Thackray’s signature genre-melding sound with raw, heartfelt lyricism and instrumentation. The track opens with sheer noise and a visceral bassline, transporting listeners into a contemplative space, where Thackray delivers poignant couplets such as, "why should I stay / I’m just paying some guy’s mortgage anyway." These lines candidly express the bleakness of grief amidst the backdrop of boom-bap drumming and echoed vocal musings, evolving into a cacophonous wall of sound in the track’s final moments.

“After losing my partner I didn’t want to be here anymore, but hiding these feelings and thinking you’re a burden is what makes them even more dangerous. You need a place to explore these feelings and for me that’s music - my safe space. This song is a diary of when those feelings for me were at their worst, and the cavernous ending is wondering what it sounds like to die. Making this song, this album, is why it’s a wondering and not a reality; it saved my life.” - Emma-Jean Thackray
