{Vocal Summary}
Bristol based singer, songwriter and guitarist Emily Breeze strikes a chord with whoever comes across her in the musical underground. Presenting a sharp, somewhat gothic image and remaining strikingly honest through her confessional writing regarding everyday struggles and a desire for something more, Emily's somewhat unique musical stylings (which have been described somewhere between post-punk, noire pop and singer-songwriter) make a perfect base for her utterly unique voice to shine.
Emily's markedly contralto vocals almost immediately hit the listener with a shockingly strong lower register presence. It is, most certainly, her standout quality as a singer, with virtually every song I could find from her featuring emphatic lower 3rd octave and upper 2nd octave notes. Her tonal clarity and weight are strikingly solid down to tenor low B, even sing-speaking down to low G with some tone in there. Her deep vocal stylings might distract you from her upper register capabilities, most displayed in late 2000's performances with gritty, passionate yet controlled belting up to D5. Her newer output features a more subdued, clean sounding upper register with some rather light sounding notes in comparison to her well-oiled lower register. Most importantly, Emily delivers each song with the sufficient nuance and power, with low ranging performances that sound expressive and natural. Overall, a distinct, entrancing voice in rock that could potentially redefine the idea of what being a strong and capable female vocalist is.
