Opinion on Emmy is split, here at S&N, but one thing we can all agree on is that this, "First Love", is a gorgeous, lo-fi gem indeed. Fairly bog-standard folk instrumentation is lifted by Emmy's gentle, bruised voice and her extraordinary lyrics (she rhymes 'Hallelujah' with 'bluer'). It all builds to a lovely soft peak, and packs a biting sardonic edge ("I would forget like I’d piss on a grave, were the words as they came to my tongue"). Emmy shows promise, so enjoy.
