Dubbed the "UK's queen of jazz-fusion", Emily Saunders balances her virtuosity and adventurous musicianship of the highest order with a catchy pop sensibility that sees her voice dance around infectious tunes that worm their way into your brain and stay there. As a socially conscious wordsmith and supremely talented songwriter, many of her songs reflect on society, the fragility of people and the strength of connectivity, oozing hazy sunshiny days and hot sultry nights. Her heady mix of Latin-infused hip swaying grooves, with driving basslines, infectious melodies, and edges of drum ‘n’ bass, pronounce Saunders as “one for the jazz dance clubs” (Gilles Peterson, BBC 6Music).
