Nature's Joint

Singer-songwriter Erin is set to enchant audiences with her latest single, Wise One, scheduled for release on April 19th, 2024. Drawing inspiration from the timeless classic Wise One by John Coltrane, Erin was spellbound by the melodic allure of McCoy Turner's piano introduction.

Crafted in collaboration with producers Ken Allars and Godriguez, Wise One emanates an ethereal ambience that transports listeners to a realm of introspection and emotion. The seamless blend of Erin's soulful vocals with intricate, cinematic production styles creates a realm that is both immersive and enchanting.

"Coltrane's philosophy of musical exploration and communion with nature deeply inspired me. With 'Wise One, I sought to capture the essence of his message, inviting listeners on a journey of continual discovery and purification of feelings and sounds." - Erin Badman

Erin intricately weaves her songwriting around the captivating piano by McCoy Turner. Produced by Ken Allars and Godriguez, and expertly mixed and mastered by Jack Prest, the single promises to captivate audiences with its atmospheric allure and emotive resonance.

As Erin's first release of 2024, Wise One showcases her unique ability to transcend musical boundaries, blending elements of folk, neo-soul, and jazz into a captivating sonic tapestry. With each note, Erin invites listeners to immerse themselves in the pure essence of musical expression, embodying the sentiment of Coltrane's declaration, "Damn the rules, it's the feelings that count."

Come With Me

This song explores the beauty and complexity of the human mind, and wonders, to what extent are we transcendent?

Lyrics //
You hid the stars in us,
For you to come back and find,
Once we learned to speak
And learned to listen, and learned to listen.
My mind searched the universe,
Only to find you inside (x4)

The Ocean waves,
They couldn't keep me away,
From exploring you, oh
My mind searched the universe,
Only to find you inside (x4)

But how I wonder (x4)

Distinctive by her weightless voice, Esmé weaves herself through rich instrumentation of soft guitars, swelling synths and glimmers of brass, while her sweet tone is further accentuated by dark production layers. In late 2018, she travelled to Brooklyn NY to evolve her sound in the electro realm. There she deep-dived into pools of vibrations, exploring disparate styles; NuSoul, EDM, trap, as well as Jazz with the help of producers Chris Penning, Royce Wood Junior (NAO) Twilite Tone (Kanye West, Gorillaz). Esmé emerged from this experience, her nature unchanged, but rather enhanced with even darker textures and intricacies. Esmé is releasing her debut 4 track EP on the 19th of January 2021.

Caught somewhere between electro R&B, spiritual jazz and trip hop, Erin is recognisable by her futuristic lullabies and ethereal voice. Her songs gradually intertwine cinematic synthesizers, deep melodic bass lines, electro/acoustic beats and ambient textures.
