After a captivating and charismatic performance at the EQ Music new artist showcase last year. I have been eagerly anticipating the follow-up music releases from the exceptionally talented independent pop multi-hyphenate Emmett Daly. Recognizing that Emmett balances his passionate pursuit of music alongside a demanding career as a doctor. It was clear that the period of waiting for new music would be an inevitable yet worthwhile journey. Simply because the performance at our EQ Music showcase was a testament to his stellar command of musicianship. Moreover, showcasing his unique blend of pop sensibilities and emotive lyrics. Above all, I had no doubt that when the day arrived for his new music release, it would, not only meet but exceed my expectations. Thus proving that the wait was indeed worth every moment.
Following an electrifying guest appearance with Una Healy (formerly of The Saturdays and his mentor from The Voice of Ireland) at the Mighty Hoopla in May. Where they enthralled audiences with their duet of “The Giver,” the latest track by Chappell Roan, Emmett saw a golden opportunity to reignite his music career. This moment not only elevated his profile but also set the stage for a powerful reconnection with his artistry thus fuelling anticipation for “Pharaoh,” Emmett’s highly anticipated first release of 2025.
This captivating track thrives on a haunting soundscape that amplifies the brooding atmosphere established in his 2024 release, “Cold Fire.” In “Pharaoh,” Emmett masterfully showcases his poetic lyrical prowess, overflowing with vivid imagery and deep emotion. The narrative reveals his intent to shield himself from the anguish inflicted by a lover’s betrayal. He perceives a troubling entanglement that threatens their relationship’s integrity, and Emmett is resolute in his commitment to protect himself from the fallout of such dishonourable behaviour.
“Darling you lost your halo. So please keep away. Cuz I’m guarding my heart like a pharaoh and now you know, yeah you know.”
In his stunning directorial debut, Emmett captivates audiences with his debut music video. He embraces a cinematic aesthetic that immerses viewers in a vast desert landscape. As he navigates this poignant setting, Emmett delves deep into his struggles, emerging from the experience with newfound strength and wisdom. The clip is equally visually epic as it is masterfully impressive. It begs the question is there anything Emmett cannot turn his hand to? Make no mistake, Emmett Daly has musicianship, musicality and performance in abundance. And like me, you really should start picking up on him.
