Emi Meyer – The Road to Franklin (EP)

Emi Meyer, Emi Meyer - The Road to Franklin (EP), music, Musica


Emi Meyer got her start as an accidental success being fueled by a surprise win in the Kobe Jazz Queen Contest at age 18 and then propelled forward by a loyal MySpace following (look it up, kids). Today she is is an on-purpose success as the career trajectory that was set in motion more than a decade ago continues.

After releasing original jazz material as well as covering jazz standards and 70s Japanese songs, Meyer made strides in crafting compelling singer-songwriter material with “When I Lose Control.” It was/is an uplifting track with smooth basslines and emotive vocals that showcases her ability.

In the wake of a crazy 2020, she decided to split her latest project into two EPs; the first is called ‘The Road To Franklin’ and the other is TBD. ‘The Road To Franklin’ released today, October 16 and features four tracks.

Meyers gave American Songwriter the details on what inspired each tune for this release. You can check out the music below, and if you like it support her on her site.

When I Lose Control
 I love this because KebMo listened to my entire catalogue and must have felt I needed to “lose control”. It’s true that I’ve had a tight grip on my career, because I did not have one single person or label guiding me. I guess that’s something I’ve struggled with all my life, not fitting in to any one ethnicity, nationality or genre, and walking the tightrope of trying to define yourself. Maybe Kevin felt that I could use a change. This lyrical message of losing control combined with the necessity to be in the pocket groove-wise is a balancing act. Kevin taught me how if you are in the pocket, you can sing the same song every night but it will feel fresh and the audience will follow you. Both letting go and being in the pocket are what makes KebMo amazing and I am happy if a modicum of that rubbed off on me by writing this song together.

Space
I love the new context with which this song is being interpreted. We all know how quarantine has made you closer to some and distant from others. Relationships are not what you thought they are, and priorities are becoming clear. This song was originally written about myself, how in an intense relationship that asks too much from me, I used to want distance and space. Like I needed space to think and be myself.Now having matured I realize the value of doubling down and treasuring the ones that will always be there for you, and so this song is actually singing to myself at the end “is this what you meant by needing space?” A vast distance where both of you are no longer reachable. A “look what you’ve done” moment.

Nashville Lullaby
This is the last song we wrote for the album, written at a session on the last day of preproduction. I mentioned the first lyric as an idea, a message to my baby of the places she’s been that create her identity, and then Jordan started plucking at a guitar with a melody and Lowell and I kept adding ideas. I really cherish the song because it has the simplicity and intimacy of a new beginning, and the moment of anticipation and the unknown where a family of two becomes three. •OriginalI wrote this one at my piano in Seattle, because while I was making the songs for this record, I realized I wasn’t used to the new subject matter of expecting and becoming a mother. Totally an unknown mystery, I don’t have siblings or close friends at that time that I had seen go through this process. So the way I could approach it was to imagine how I would nurture my baby and what kind of person I would want her to be. Values that are sort of the pillars of a life and tools I have found to be most useful in creating your own path.

Wings
I wrote the hook of this song for a collaboration with the Nappy Roots. To be honest this story was inspired by how Joni Mitchell had to give up her first child for adoption. It made me think about the circumstances surrounding motherhood, and situations out of your control. With Nappy Roots I was imagining what it means to be a parent and have your child go on their own journey, and waiting for them to migrate home again when they are ready.

Tracklist:

01.When I Lose Control
02.Space
03.Nashville Lullaby
04.Original
05.Wings

OVERALL RATING: 3½ stars

“Fora de Si”

books, Fora de Si, Livros


Sobre a Obra:

Uma saga familiar que atravessa o século xx onde cabem as migrações e as questões de género.

Desde sempre que os gémeos Alissa e Anton formam um par. No velho apartamento de duas assoalhadas de Moscovo não têm outro remédio senão agarrar-se um ao outro durante as cenas de violência entre pai e mãe. Mais tarde, à espera da autorização de residência na Alemanha Ocidental, percorrem juntos os corredores do lar de refugiados, entrando em quartos alheios para roubar cigarros e cheirar frascos de perfume. Ainda mais tarde, quando Alissa abandona o curso de Matemática em Berlim por sentir que isso a distrai dos treinos de boxe, Anton desaparece sem deixar rasto. Até que chega um postal de Istambul – sem texto e sem remetente ou morada -, mas é o sinal de que Áli precisa para ir em busca do irmão.

É já na cidade banhada pelo Bósforo que a rapariga evocará a história da sua família ao longo de um século e descobrirá que, quanto mais investe na procura de Anton, menos sentido as coisas parecem fazer – a língua materna, a pátria, o género – e talvez só consiga um todo coerente se sair para fora de si.

O presente romance – intenso, ousado e político – foi nomeado em 2017 para o Prémio do Livro Alemão (nomeação raríssima numa obra de estreia), venceu o Prémio Jürgen Ponto e foi traduzido em mais de uma dúzia de línguas.

Quem nos diz quem somos? No romance Fora de Si, Sasha Marianna Salzmann explora esta questão, mostrando como a vida é um imenso desafio e os nossos anseios muitas vezes insaciáveis.

Fora de Si é a história de como alguns episódios do século XX influenciaram decisivamente o novo milénio. Conta a história de quatro gerações de uma família – a história do anti-semitismo latente e indisfarçado na União Soviética; a história da emigração e da esperança de uma vida melhor num país estrangeiro; a história de uma geração educada no país de acolhimento que perdeu o rasto da pátria e procura, mesmo assim, um lugar de pertença; a história de uma busca: de um irmão desaparecido, de auxílio, de identidade e, claro, de resposta para a pergunta: quem somos?

O romance vai de Odessa, na época da Revolução Russa, até Istambul, nas vésperas do golpe de Estado de 2016.

Sobre o Autor:

Sasha Marianna Salzmann nasceu em Volgogrado em 1985 e cresceu em Moscovo.
Em 1995 emigrou com a sua família para a Alemanha, onde estudou Literatura, Teatro e Comunicação na Universidade de Hildesheim e Escrita Criativa para Palco na Universidade das Artes de Berlim.
Publicou poemas e contos enquanto estudante em várias revistas e foi ela própria co-fundadora do jornal Freitex, que editou durante alguns anos.
Deu aulas de Escrita Criativa na Alemanha, nos EUA, em Espanha, em Itália, na Moldávia e na Turquia.
A sua obra para teatro foi galardoada, aplaudida pela crítica e representada dentro e fora da Alemanha.
Desde 2013 que Sasha é autora-residente no Teatro Máximo Gorki, em Berlim.
Foi durante uma residência numa academia cultural da Turquia que iniciou a escrita do romance Fora de Si.
