Emma Worley

On her sophomore album, Forever Beginner, Emma Worley tucks grief, joy, humour, and pain into the same fold. Emerging during a transformative period in her life, one shaped by chronic illness, treatment, healing, and resilience, Forever Beginner is an open-hearted, self-reckoning body of work. Blending alternative folk and Americana, the album was crafted over two years with producer, multi-instrumentalist, and longtime collaborator Ben Whiteley (The Weather Station, Joan Shelley). The arrangements are a textural delight, with Worley’s tender voice and poignant songwriting at the centre. Featuring the talents of Julian Psihogios, Jasper Smith, Matt Kelly, Kendel Carson, Dylan Burchell, Will Kidman, Wyatt C. Louis, Lia Pappas Kemps, Tamara Lindeman, Ken Whiteley, Georgia Harmer, and more, Forever Beginner is both a shining emblem of Toronto’s remarkable music community. Forever Beginner arrives September 18th via Acronym Records.
