Emily Smart is a master craftsmaker of “rainy day” music. Typically consisting of light, breezy, and relaxing melodies created by subtle acoustic guitar. Smart’s songs are a balanced blend of genres, including acoustic, jazz, folk and pop. Despite the slight physical presence, Smart has an emotional inheritance in her vocals that is both simultaneously a soft whisper and a raging soul. Her lyrical intellect is stunning, focusing on love, longing, hope, regret and sorrow as her main themes. All this she delivers with the clear deliciate voice of an ethereal poet and the strains of shining pop. Emily’s beautifully structured songs boast uncluttered arrangements with surprising little moments.
Emily Smart is not just an acoustic soloist, but an acoustic experience not to be forgotten. With a striking and emotive voice complemented by acoustic indie/pop music with a hint of folk, Emily’s beautifully structured songs boast uncluttered arrangements with surprising little moments.
Emily regularly performs with her band The Clever Girls who have toured all around Australia with her over the last 6 months playing in QLD, NSW, TAS ACT, and rural SA.
Her debut solo EP ‘The Escape Plan’, supported by Arts SA and released in February 2007, has been described as beautifully crafted - with its outstanding, memorable and moving lyrics it is impossible to ignore Smart’s message. However, she describes her music as delicate, colourful poetry. Self-produced, ‘The Escape Plan’ is a sophisticated mix of original compositions combining pop melodies with exciting rhythms and interesting quirks, while her lyrics communicate fragility, joy, interpersonal conflict, resilience and hope.
Passionately vibrant, Emily Smart, with her richly moving voice and charming music, is destined for stardom. Discover and enjoy the timeless and hypnotic experience as Emily Smart takes you through the emotional spectrum from joy, love, sorrow and despair in her debut EP ‘The Escape Plan.’
