At 23 years old, emmy Curl has what creative minds of all ages aspire to: a universe of her own, perfectly drawn and filled with sound and image. A year ago, the singer and songwriter from the Northern region of Portugal, born in the city of Vila Real as Catarina Miranda, released her third EP, “Origins”. The track "Song of Origin" serves as the first single for this record, available as a free digital version at her website.

It’s been three years since emmy Curl left her first, delicate but firm, footprints on the ground of Portuguese music: "Birds Among The Lines”, the second EP, showed her as the owner of a delicate and romantic, yet sometimes sour music, akin to "dream pop”. Five songs caught the attention of audiences and critics for emmy Curl, leading her to perform at biggest Portuguese festivals.
Raised within an artistic family, emmy Curl feeds her dreamy and colorful music with a passion for other areas such as photography, art and fashion. All of these activities are part of a rich curriculum whose main goal is to try harder and do better. It’s onstage that emmy Curl combines all her vocations.
Blessed with a careful image and singular imaginary, emmy Curl likes to take control at every stage of the recording, from production to graphic work, and has had a growing but intense impact on the public: on Youtube, there’s an increasing number of covers of her songs, made by her fans. And emmy Curl herself isn’t shy from walking on the fans shoes, having signed notable versions from songs such as “Twice”, by Little Dragon, “Tiger Mountain Peasant Song”, by Fleet Foxes and “Cayman Islands”, originally written by Kings Of Convenience.
In her last EP, “Origins”, emmy promises to keep the musical personality that she has been displaying, while at the same time trying to take the songs through new and adventurous ways. As her fellow countryman, writer Miguel Torga said, in a quote cited in some interviews to promote the debut EP, “sometimes I call it a curse, a mixture of spell and prayer".
