The first single from ‘Pearlies’, the debut solo album by Emma Anderson from Lush, released via Sonic Cathedral on October 20th, 2023. ‘Pearlies’ is the debut solo album from former Lush singer, guitarist and songwriter Emma Anderson. Its genesis coming with the second break-up of Lush in 2016 after an all-too-brief reunion, it’s a verdant sonic tapestry of electronic pop, pastoral folk and gentle psychedelia that underscores Anderson’s reputation as one of the Britpop era’s finest songwriters.
Another of this week’s debut singles sees Lush’s Emma Anderson go it alone. “I am not someone that feels comfortable in the spotlight, so for me to take centre stage, metaphorically speaking, was quite a big leap,” she says. But the spotlight suits her fine, and perhaps that uncertainty has prompted her come up with a beefy melody that would give pep to any singer.
