Emma Russack is an Australian singer songwriter who has been under the radar for much too long. She released her third album 'In A New State' in 2016 and it was one of my favourites of the year. The song that struck me the most, initially, was "Best Love", due to its honest recollection of a first love. This story of an obsessive relationship with a much older man can not be anything other than a personal one - the sincerity and heart is too true to be a fictional tale. And even though the relationship was never going to last, something she knew even then, it's everything she learnt from him that is remembered with much affection and she can look back without regret. It's a beautiful slow song that just takes you along.
