Meshuga Baby by Emma Smith

June 2022 will mark the release of ‘Meshuga Baby’, the brand new album from the charismatic and mesmerizing jazz vocalist Emma Smith.
The concepts and messages throughout Meshuga Baby paint a picture of a compelling and radiant female protagonist navigating the trials and tribulations of modern life. The uniquely arranged versions of songs such as ‘I Don’t Care’ combined with bold and witty originals such as ‘Sit On My Knee And Tell Me That You Love Me’ take the listener on an emotional rollercoaster and personal journey, eventually resulting in total emancipation and liberation from life’s many challenges. The combination of this and the absolute quality of the music and performance itself makes the album stand out as a poignant experience.
In a nod to Emma’s proud Jewish heritage, ‘Meshuga Baby’ is a play on words based on ‘Meshuga’, the Yiddish word for ‘crazy’ - a judgment that Smith describes as “so often passed on brave ambitious women that are not afraid express their opinions and showcase their talent.” The album is a carefully curated selection of much loved classics interpreted in Emma's unique way, combined with some delightfully quirky originals that showcase Emma’s flair for songwriting.
