Emma-Jean Thackray - Save Me

Save Me
Releasing digitally on April 25th via Brownswood Recordings

Acclaimed producer, composer, and multi-instrumentalist Emma-Jean Thackray releases her highly anticipated sophomore album, 'Weirdo,' on the 25th of April via Brownswood Recordings in conjunction with Parlophone. Featuring the vibrant focus track 'Save Me'.

The whole album is out today, but we wanted to give the focus track 'Save Me' it's own moment. Stay tuned for the full album coming your way over the next few days.

Emma-Jean Thackray’s new single 'Save Me' is a raw exploration of emotional fracture and the quiet strength in asking for help. Layering hypnotic rhythms with aching vocal loops, Thackray conjures a sense of suspended time and inner unrest, her lyrics circling themes of isolation, grief, and the longing for release. Both intimate and expansive, Save Me deepens her signature genre-defying sound — a haunting plea for connection in a world that often forgets how to hold space for pain.

“I think we need to talk about the dark shit in our heads, and finding the humour in it only makes that easier. The lyrics to this are very diary-esque, like confessional poetry, and the bare emotion of it is balanced out with lush jazz harmony, sweeping synths, and a pop punk silliness. When you centre in on the silliness it’s easier to speak on your pain, and easier for others to hear it.” - Emma-Jean Thackray
