Oh lawdy, the first post of my brand new music blog. Usually you would think I would leave the debut post to include a musical album but in this case I say "NEIN!". Obviously I am a huge Emilie fangirl, and sometime ago I found her very rare all-poetry album. :D
If you've heard any of her music it focuses on literature, society, philosophies, idealogies, history, et cetera. Her poetry however focuses more on a personal level and lets you inside her mind in an emotional sense which is in some ways uncommon, unless you're one of those fans who sits all day on your Internet interpreting every lyric through petty message forums and second-rate websites.
Now when I say emotional I don't mean in any way that she goes on a whining spree. It's in fact a suitable album for when you're in an artsy mood on a day where it's pouring outside. Recommended especially for fans of literature and Shakspeare (she has written a few sonnets and recorded them onto this album). Personally I think she's a lot more talented compared to the likes of more popular modern-day artists (anyone ever seen that skank Tila Tequila perform on electric violin and harpsichord?).
Sometimes it can get a little cheesy, but that's poetry for you. She also has little bits of music in the background during tracks (usually harpsichord, electronic sounds, et cetera) that contribute a sound befitting the tone of the lyrics.

Clicky.
