Emma Kupa releases her debut album today, the heart achingly
personal Home Cinema, via British DIY
label Where It's At Is Where You Are. Formerly the lead singer of indie-pop
group Standard Fare, Kupa surpasses the work of her old band in her first solo offerings. Made up of a concise six tracks, Home
Cinema conceals Kupa’s deeply intimate lyrics inside tunes of folk pop. Each
of the songs on the album was written about a member of her family with a
refreshing and somewhat painful honesty. The excellent lead single finds the
songstress wondering about the possible resemblances and personality traits she
shares with her half-sister, and pleading for reconnection after finding out
second-hand that they live in the same neighborhood. Kupa’s vulnerability is
flawless, and when paired with the carefree jangling guitar gives her music a
layered beauty. Stream "Half Sister" below. <PM>
