On the fourth single taken from her forthcoming EP Connecticut, Los Angeles-based folk-pop singer/songwriter Emma Charles pulls out all of the emotional stops for a heartfelt new song of the same name, that maps out the musician’s journey from her hometown to a new life in California. One of three new Doug Schadt-produced tracks on the four-track EP (Shaed, Maggie Rogers), “Connecticut” takes a hushed, chiming guitar-based melody that provides an evocative backdrop to the story of her cross-country journey and slowly builds to a gorgeously transcendent crescendo. The Connecticut EP will be released digitally on February 21 on Sky Records, the pop unit of the Resilience Music Alliance. It is the follow up to her recent singles “You” and “Vertigo” (which appears on the recent NOW That’s What I Call Music! 72 as a featured “What’s Next” selection.
Says Charles: “Doug and I wrote this song about my cross-country road trip from Connecticut to Los Angeles in early 2019. The song encompasses my journey from what’s familiar to what’s not, and reminds me to appreciate Connecticut for what it was able to give me. Detailing the car trip literally while emphasizing the underlying appreciation for home and childhood is why this song is one of my favorites I’ve written. Doug was able to channel that emotion with his stunning production, building the track from minimalist to an explosive but tastefully emotional ending.”
Connecticut Track List:
- Scorpio
- Vertigo

ABOUT EMMA CHARLES
22 YO folk-pop savant Emma Charles is able to mix “effortlessly beautiful vocals” (American Songwriter Magazine) that “flutter upwards serenely through the loneliness and darkness like a beam of radiant light” (LA Weekly) with “savvy lyricism and intuitive musicianship offering layers not always seen in contemporary mainstream music” (Popmatters).

Now, LA based, Emma is writing, recording and continuing to perform.
She returns east regularly to continue her long standing collaboration with Uber-producer Doug Schadt (Maggie Rogers, SHAED, Ashe). Says Doug “It’s rare as a producer to come across an artist who is completely open to experimentation, while maintaining their vision of what a song is supposed to be. I think the results speak for themselves. Working on Emma’s latest material with her was an absolute joy, and I can’t wait for what’s next.”
Emma’s recent releases have been streamed collectively well over 100,000 times and she has new music that will be released throughout 2020.
