My homage to the pop music I grew up with. I had a lot of fun doing this and have included some vocal "out-takes" at the end which made me laugh. Should probably have dropped the key...nevermind.

CODA

Non Stop Special Overnight Express

A beautiful track fusing together blues, soul, funk and acid Jazz with Emma's raw and soulful vocals with pure delicate tones leaves the listener well and truly blissed.  Emma says 'I wrote this song at a very challenging but magical time of my life.  The lyrics came to me so clearly and they represented a life i was longing for at the time.  It bought good fortune as I met my partner because of this song who helped me craft it. It never ceases to lift my spirits when i hear it.  This song helped me fall in love with life. I hope it does the same for you' Written by Emma Linney with support from Jonathan Bannister.  Vocals: Emma Linney, Drums: Nick Whitcher, guitar: Matt Smith, Bass: Jonathan Bannister.
