21 year-old singer-songwriter, Moya, will be releasing her new single Lost & Found on June 18th, co-written Never Mind The Buzzcocks‘ David Blair-Oliphant (primary theme tune composer) . This single is taken off her anticipated debut album, out July 2nd on Four To One Records.

Moya reveals that “this song teeters between being beautiful and slightly warped. It has quite a sinister feel to it but if you listen to the lyrics, it’s actually quite up-lifting.” With Asylum Films behind the camera, who also produced videos for Lethal Bizzle, Ida Maria and Hadouken, ‘Lost & Found’ is perfectly backgrounded by a  beautifully forlorn video, filmed on a bleak industrial estate in Essex.

This video juxtaposes the sunny promo for last year’s ‘Telling Tales,’ which wowed Youtube and The Box regulars with its astonishingly accomplished underwater scenes and also hijacked regional radio stations across the country. Moya is definitely a colourful musician as she strives to make each record unique and distinct. “I didn’t want to be labelled as a typical pop artist,” explains Moya on the single choice. “Obviously pop is kind of what we’re doing but there is definitely originality in this track that sets us apart.” This attitude is mirrored in her live performances as she dances between a combination of acoustic and full band shows. Her debut album, also titled ‘Lost & Found,’ is an eclectic collection of accomplished soul-pop which is out July 2nd.

Live  Dates This Summer:

May 22nd – The Bedford

June 3rd – Meadowlands Festival

June 6th – The Camden Head

June 15th – Beach Break Live

Now, we’re nothing if not generous souls here.

EMMS Publicity reaches the grand old age of 10 in early October and, to kick off our celebrations, we’re giving away a very special one-off remix of Francis Neve’s classic first single ‘Brian’s Drying Up’ – by rising (self-proclaimed) “goodstep” star Bangatang.

Yes you’ll be able to download the remix ABSOLUTELY FREE from our Soundcloud for 24 hours on Monday October 3. But first, have a sneak preview here:

After Tuesday October 4, the remix will only again be available (for dollar) as part of Francis Neve’s forthcoming Dance Around The Fires EP (released late November). So grab it while you can!

Oh, and because it’s our 10th birthday, indulge us, if you will, as we unveil 10 fascinating facts about EMMS… *deep breath*

1. The company was established in 2001 by the then 26 year old Stephen Emms. First clients? Dance icons-du-jour Paul Oakenfold, Dave Pearce and Timo Maas.
2. We launched debut releases by Lethal Bizzle, David Guetta, Jay Sean, Eric Prydz – and, in 2006, a rather lovely 19 year old called Florence Welch.
3. Other international stars we’ve worked with include Sia, Kosheen, Jill Scott, Chrissie Hynde, Fergie, Hall & Oates, Pete Tong and Carl Cox.
4. Not to mention dozens of labels and brands, including One Little Indian, BMG, Sony, Ministry Of Sound, Three Six Zero Group, Southern Fried and Rob Da Bank’s Sunday Best.
5. In 2007 EMMS Publicity was the sole UK PR company selected to feature in the best-selling DIY manual “The Guerilla Guide to the Music Business”…
6. …and in 2011 we launched our artist management division, imaginitively titled EMMS Artist Management
7. We like food too. And therefore work with the odd restaurant or two.
8. We like a tipple – in moderation, of course – and have launched or worked with lots of boozy venues like KOKO, Barrio, Guanabara, Charlotte Street Blues.
9. In addition to his PR responsibilities, Stephen also writes about the travel & the arts in The Guardian and elsewhere.
10. In addition to his PR responsibilities, account director Steve Rose is a dab hand at the banjo – and, as you can see above, draws a pretty impressive birthday cake.

So there we have it. Sorry if we went on a bit. Enjoy the track. We’ll tweet again on October 3 to remind you to download it.

And watch this space as we’ll be premiering Francis Neve’s new single here next week. Over and out.
