MIBIAL has allowed the Emily to present a different side to her work. The album was recorded with a line up primarily of piano, strings, synthesizers and bass along with select guest appearances including Gene Back on Violin and the Hi-Lo Singers on vocals on the beautifully stripped back choral track ‘Outpour’.
Talking about the creation of MIBIAL, Emily reveals: “I was in my studio and started humming - there was something about the melody, so I wrote it down and it sparked this process. It was the door to me starting the album and that humming became album opener and first single ‘Come With Me’. It was an invitation for me to start writing, and an invitation to others to come with me on the journey of the rest of the album.
“MIBIAL is a love letter to home. The fondness, pining, sadness and hope that came with all the emotions stirred up by the pandemic. In recent years, at times it feels like we’re living in a movie and there is definitely a cinematic feel to the soundscape of MIBIAL.”

Chafa is an emerging pianist, producer, and composer based out of Los Angeles. He is currently preparing to launch onto the global music scene with his first two singles ready to drop imminently.
Chada said about this new track "I wrote the melody of "Luminescence" during the height of the lockdown period - it's meant to mimic the feeling of unfamiliarity with people and places you love dearly, but due to current circumstances, you must maintain a level of distance and caution with them. "
