Emm Gryner - Thursday and Friday in Alberta
12 May, 2009
Love manifests itself in all kinds of ways. Singer-songwriter Emm Gryner knows a thing or two about the mysteries of the human heart - her songs dig deep into the sublime heights of how we come together, but also the murky lows of how we can let each other down. The songs on her latest full-length album, Goddess, are far from your everyday love songs, however. The record's ten tracks offer up glimmers of wisdom both hard-won and well earned, from the cello-swept title track to icy ballad "Let It Snow" (which first appeared on a homemade CD Gryner sent to fans as a holiday gift several years ago).
Gryner, who has carved out an enviable career completely on her own terms over the past decade long before current music-industry trends sent many artists down an independent path, compiled her newest effort from songs written and recorded over the past five years in her own inimitable way: wherever and whenever, with good friends and on her own. Whatever works for the song, so that each tale can be told in only the way she knows how.
