Emily Wells - "Passenger"

Emily Wells is defined as a musician who blends classical music with hip-hop rhythms and I can't disagree with that. Her previous album 'The Symphonies: Dreams Memories & Parties' was more classical... small symphonies with her violin layered and layered along with some vocals and hip-hop beats. But the classical element was strong. Her new album 'Mama' has more of a song structure. The violin is still there as her preferred instrument but it blends more with the hip-hop rhythms rather than dominating. She has always used the loop pedal to layer her violin live but now she has perfected the process and adds an array of musical instruments including toy pianos, glockenspiels, melodicas, old synths and just about everything else. "Passenger" is from 'Mama' and is supported by a video she made herself. Here comes another obsession. "Passenger" Live
