Product Description

2009 release. Armed with little more than an acoustic guitar and her fragile alto, San Francisco Folk singer/songwriter Emily Jane White offers complex tales of melancholy and isolation. While comparisons to contemporaries like Cat Power and Hope Sandoval are frequent, Emily's music owes a clear debt to classic female Jazz and Blues singers such as Billie Holiday. Victorian America is her second album written largely in San Francisco and Oakland, the atmosphere of her upbringing permeates her songs.

Customer Reviews

I stumbled upon this album because I liked the title. I had previously heard a few of White's songs such as "Bessie Smith" and "Wild Tigers I have Know," and found them beautiful. This album is not an easy album to get through. It won't lift your spirits. It won't make you see the world better. But it will make you see the world in a different light. White's music, voice, and lyrics are haunting and somewhat depressing. But the whole concept and essence of this album is striking and emotionally beautiful. Her voice is raw and lovely, preachy and honest. Some songs it is hard to come find the coherence in, such as "Stairs." But after listening to it a few times it turned out to be scarily breathtaking. Standouts include the title song, the enormously deep and desolate but exquisite "The Ravens," and the soul searching and desperately grand "Ghost of a Horse." If you want up-beat music, this album is not for you. But if you want music with depth, soul and touching instrumental details, then I would definitely recommended it. White has created a whole new and personal journey to join her on.
