Emika - Falling in Love with Sadness (2018) [Hi-Res]

Ex-Ninja Tune artist Emika releases her 5th album Falling In Love With Sadness on her own imprint, Emika Records.

Bringing bold new tendencies to a world of avant-garde classicism, popular song and contemporary electronic minimalism, Berlin-based Emika has, since the turn of the decade, transposed perceived notions of music on its head.

Falling In Love With Sadness, is co-produced with Robert Witschakowski of The Exaltics, and will be released to coincide with World Mental Health Day, the 10th of October 2018. A portion of proceeds will go to a UK-based mental health charity.

Alongside the release, Emika is inviting people from all over the world to share their experiences of depression, anonymously and in different languages, on her website (www.emikarecords.com) to create a 'River Of Sadness’, a lyric from the opening track of her brand new album, and also to raise awareness of mental illness.

“We’re incredibly grateful for the support from Emika and her team in raising funds for Music Minds Matter. Every penny raised will go towards providing a listening ear, emotional support, information and counselling for anyone working in music who needs it. We have already helped hundreds of people through the service and with this support, we can be a lifeline to many more.” (Christine Brown, Director of External Affairs at HMUK)

“It’s great to be part of an initiative which sees money and awareness raised for Help Musicians UK’s Music Minds Matter service, a truly worthwhile cause. This is a subject close to my heart; making this album helped me and now I want to use it to help others, and seeing it benefit the charity and its supporters will be phenomenal.” (Emika)
