London-based artist Emily Fields has had an impressive journey from choir vocalist for renowned artists like Stormzy, Rita Ora, and Emeli Sandé to establishing her unique sonic identity. Her background in performing for high-profile TV and film projects, including The Voice UK, Britain’s Got Talent, The Last Leg and Amazon Prime’s Cinderella, provided the platform to launch her own solo career.
Known for her emotive writing, Emily connects her personal stories of love, life, and loss with universal human experiences, creating a resonant and deeply relatable body of work. Unveiling her own sonic vision for the first time two years ago with her debut single “17,” the song rose to #21 on the iTunes pop chart and instantly put the Emily on the map of rising artists in the UK music scene.
Her music has since been featured on Love Island All Stars 2024 and supported by BBC Introducing, Riverside Radio and Future Hits. She’s also brought her music to life on stages at iconic venues such as The Bedford, Half Moon and Star in Shoreditch.
Returning last year with three new singles, she now brings us her first release of 2024 with her brand new single “Always Be My Almost,” a poignant and soulful pop outing. This new single is a heartfelt exploration of grief, an at once relatable yet deeply personal emotion, capturing the raw pain of letting go of someone who was once envisioned as a forever partner but ended up being the one that got away.
Brought in by her emotive vocal leads, a delicate R&B-inflected pop scene takes hold as the soft piano keys are met with the gentle depth of the bass. Building the arrangement with a muted drum kit and subtly bouncy piano chords, Emily’s beautiful voice drifts above to deliver an impassioned performance dripping in emotion to cast a moving and truly dazzling listening experience.
Both pop-focused and instilled with profound songwriting, the track builds with snapping drums to inject a danceable energy as Emily’s infectious vocals ride majestically above. It’s a truly enchanting new single from a talented artist who once again showcases her wide appeal as a songwriter and extraordinary talent as a vocalist. As she continues to share her compelling musical output, we can’t wait to see what she’s got in store for the rest of 2024 and beyond.
