Press

“Hill’s relaxed vocals and excellently written songs, made with a deft melodic pop nous, ensure her work remains thoughtful, catchy, witty and sultry in equal measures. ‘Meet Me at the Moon’ is a thoroughly enjoyable and impressive album from talent worth keeping on the radar.”

— Ian Fildes, Americana UK

“Any discussion of Emma Hill must begin with her voice. Hill has a rich and smooth alto that I could listen to all day. But emotion comes first, and Hill delivers that beautifully.”

— Oliver Di Place

“Hill has always had a talent for writing expressive, thoughtful lyrics...[she] has a way of working her words down deep enough in your body that your toes will find themselves tapping.”

— Aaron Binder, The Wordbird Says

“Her keen ability to write pretty, heartfelt songs that allow the listener a glimpse into her personal life and feelings have made Emma Hill an indie-folk darling on the edge of wider recognition.”

— April Darcy, Common Folk Music

“'Meet Me at the Moon' isn't just consistent the whole way through, it becomes more and more absorbing from song to song...[the album] commanded the whole of my attention on the very first listen, absorbing me completely, and instantly pushing me to realize that I just may have found a new favorite female artist...the poignant lyrics conveyed by her lovely voice are what I can only describe as confessionals in the church of the heart.”

— James G. Carlson, No Depression and The Philadelphia Examiner

“You have such a nice voice. I don't mean to sound corny but it's kind of like melt-y chocolate. IT'S MAGICAL. ”

— Youtube comment

“Though 'folk' is probably the genre radio fat cats would try to box her in, her songs are living creations, each a style in and of itself. It's plain old great American music, and the author is a truly talented vessel. Compare her to Caitlin Cary, Kim Richey or Neko Case, but at the end of the day, Emma Hill is a uniquely fresh addition to the scene and certainly one worth checking out.”

— Tom Hallett, Elmore Magazine

“It is not so much the indie folk, alt-country and delicate roots sound that Emma has created, but the soulful beauty of her impossibly powerful vocals. To be sure, it’s the kind of voice that one can easily fall in love with. Yes, I admit it, I’m smitten!”

— James G. Carlson, No Depression and The Philadelphia Examiner

“It is rare for me to find female singer/songwriters that really knock my socks off -- musically speaking, of course -- and even rarer still to come across female singer/songwriters as young and talented as Emma Hill, whose songs simply cannot be ignored.”

— James G. Carlson, No Depression and The Philadelphia Examiner

“Each song is a well-stitched garment that keeps one warm in the chill of lonely nights and hurt feelings, of a head heavy and spinning with last night’s drink, of long remembrances and uncertain tomorrows, of so many things that more often than not prove difficult to put down on paper.”

— James G. Carlson, No Depression and The Philadelphia Examiner

“Emma Hill has the kind of voice that can melt away a day's stress as it washes through your consciousness.”

— Simon, The Beat Surrender

“The combination of Emma Hill's gorgeous vocals, signature songwriting, and musical variations makes for a remarkable and fascinating album. Clumsy Seduction is a wonderful product of an artist on the threshold of success and stardom on the folk/Americana scene.”

— April Darcy, Common Folk Music

“[Hill] projects an endearing fearlessness...she is no stranger to the road. [Clumsy Seduction] suggests a future fit for Emma Hill amongst the great American ladies of song.”

— Barbara Bruederlin, No Depression

“It is hard to believe, after listening to these heartfelt confessions, that Hill is but 22 years of age, but don't think her youth has left her lacking depth or power. The Alaskan-born resident of Portland, Oregon, has obviously been seriously working at her craft to come so far in so short a lifespan.”

— Wren Dillon, Rambles

“Throughout the album, Hill...displays a wonderful imagination with the musical textures she creates. This one will grow on you.”

— Oliver di Place

“...a flawless voice that compels you to listen. (translated from Dutch)”

— Rootstime

"[Hill] makes you want to take [her] hand and move to the Oregon mountains. At least, we sure did."

— Max Plenke, Las Vegas Citylife

"If you’re turned on by talent, Emma Hill will give you a total fame bone."

— Max Plenke, Las Vegas Citylife

"...laid back folk ballads that would make a perfect companion during those long, cold, Alaskan nights."

— Nelson, A Fifty Cent Lighter & A Whiskey Buzz

"[Emma Hill] writes well beyond her years!"

— Me, Myself, Music and Mysteries

"The album has been on the mp3 player now for a few weeks and I enjoy it more and more each time I listen. I really love the varied musical arrangements that keep each song distinctive.”

— Ed Karn, No Depression

"Clumsy seduction? She had me at ‘hello.’"

— Mike Davies, netrhythms

"They're sweethearts. And really good at music. And being fun."

— Luke Burbank, TBTL

"...beautiful female singer songerwriter"

— Rein van den Berg, Johnny’s Garden

"She turns to that catchy really beautiful gems, which after a single listening with small barbs on your eardrums seem to have attached." (Translated from Dutch)

— Ctrl-Alt-Country

“Emma Hill is not afraid to sing. In fact, her voice's countrified richness, delicate inflections and fear-no-range transitions make it easy to imagine that's all she ever does.”

— Amy McCullough, Willamette Week

“Hill’s songs, which lilt along in a folk-singer manner, twangy but with a tinge of jazz and blues influence, are carried mostly by her beautiful, smoky voice. She sounds like a rootsier Sarah McLachlan, or perhaps like fellow Alaskan Jewel, but with more soul.”

— The Bend Bulletin

“Emma Hill's strong, smooth, pitch-perfect alto has a unique personal timbre that commands attention. Her tone, while flirty, possesses a sense of maturity unexpected in a 21-year-old, a blend of punky confidence and bluesy anguish with an undercurrent of pleading uncertainty.”

— Mike Dunham, Alaska Daily News

“She sounds like sunbeams through a partly cloudy sky.”

— Anonymous fan, Youtube

“Portland songwriter Emma Hill's tender folk songs ache with emotion. If you're in the mood for roots music, you won't find a better show in the city.”

— Seattle Weekly
