'England' Live & Acoustic By Emaline Delapaix W  Karsten Lipp, Berlin, November 2012

A love story between a comedian and a musician living on two sides of Canada. He had no money to call her so she sent him phone cards. It wasn't going to last. :)

Exorcism (bare Version)

The title track from the EP CD 'Exorcism'.
https://emalinedelapaix.bandcamp.com/album/exorcism

The title track of my new CD 'Exorcism' is when summed up a ritual about TAKING YOUR POWER BACK from someone who stole it from you: emotionally, physically and spiritually.

exorcism 

i have put aside these days
for peeling you from my skin
flushing you from my bones
to discover underneath where i begin

yes thank you my wrists have healed
and i am getting on top of things
and although sometimes it makes me weary
this exorcism must begin

you cluttered up my head
you cluttered up my head
and the smell of fear still clinging to the air
has just about disappeared

yes thank you my wrists have healed
and i am getting on top of things
and although sometimes it makes me weary
this exorcism must begin

(exorcism interlude)

i have put aside these days
for peeling you from my skin
flushing you from my bones
to discover underneath where i begin

yes thank you my wrists have healed
and i am getting on top of things
yes thank you my wrists have healed
and i am getting on top of things
and although sometimes it makes me weary
this exorcism must begin

Letter From Grosseto

With Every Beat is a song about letting go and finding strength within yourself to get through the darkest of times and back into the light.

With Every beat (single)

With Every Beat

Emaline's nine track album 'With Every Beat' includes songs recorded in Scandinavia, Europe and the UK on a grand piano, guitars, synths, mini wurlitzer, mandola and celtic harp including locations in Berlin, the New Forest England and the mystical Faroe Islands. Apart from some winter recording at the wonderful Studio Bloch in Tórshavn capturing some Nordic ambience, the record is 100% DIY; a labour of love which was played, recorded and mixed by Emaline and her partner Lukas with a few guest musician friends on cello, banjo, flute, viola, trumpet, drums and french Horn.

Drawing on many influences from folktronica, art pop, traditional folk, and even a little soft symphonic metal on the song 'Turmoil of Winter', the new record is a sonic soundscape interlacing stories and thoughts about current world issues, dealing with animal rights, the lack of female role models in mainstream music, mental health, longing for nature and a simpler life, self worth and the memory loss and death of a beloved Grand parent with alzheimer's disease. Although at times melancholy, the music is still positive…the title track 'With Every Beat' is a kind of mantra to help dissipate negative mental thoughts and body anxiety, instead drawing on the strength we hold in our bodies to fight dark forces and move forward in the world.

Emaline Delapaix is an Australian singer songwriter that writes emotional, haunting and ethereal folk/pop songs for piano, acoustic guitar and celtic harp. Some say she sounds a little like Kate Bush or Tori Amos, but she also loves a lot of Scandinavian music: music that invokes the weather like storms and warm sunsets. Her lyrics explore the human condition and thoughtful themes such as mental health, mindfulness, ancestors, chronic illness, love, animal welfare, women's empowerment, travel/adventure and healing nature. After a difficult year in 2010, Emaline decided to quit her day job in Toronto Canada and moved to an isolated fixed caravan in rural Eastern Germany, close to the Polish border where she taught herself to play 3 instruments and lived for a year and half before settling in Berlin as a full time musician. Since that time she has performed over 500 shows all over Europe, UK, Australia and Canada, creating a dedicated following and becoming well known for her genuine and passionate live performances. Most recently Emaline moved to North Yorkshire after becoming chronically ill for two years with a break in music, seeking a quieter life with her Leeds born partner Lukas who also accompanies her at many concerts. Aside from music, Emaline also runs an online vintage shop called 'Wild Finds' selling wild and whimsical treasures from Germany/Scandinavia/UK, she loves foraging and herbal medicine and is also a vegan who regularly gives a % of her CD sales to local animal shelters while out on the road.

Looking for distribution and international booking agents. I am also available for paid work in electronic/other music including writing/singing.
