If you want to have your heartstrings tugged then listen to the emotionally charged Honeymoon Phase by young singer-songwriter Emilia Tarrant. The piano-led ballad feels intimate, poignant, reflective and hits your heart where it hurts. Emilia Tarrant has such an emotive, melancholic vocal tone in this stripped-back track and the accompanying visuals add to that intense feeling of raw vulnerability.

“Honeymoon Phase is based on the stereotypical fairy-tale beginning that most new relationships endure, and surviving the end of it. It covers the ebbs and flows of a new relationship, the choice we face whether it’s worth fighting for, as well as the inevitable cyclical argumentative stage: ‘we fight, we cry, we hug, we fight again.”

Honeymoon Phase is for those who are at a crossroads in a relationship, those who have had their hearts broken and those who are learning to love again.

Emilia Tarrant is one to watch for talented singer-songwriters coming out of the UK. I’m sure we will be hearing more from her soon.
