    Rising British singer-songwriter Emily Burns pauses for a moment of self-reflection with the unveiling of her latest single ‘8 Hours Behind’.

    Serving as the follow up to previous releases ‘Balcony Floor’ and ‘Cheating On Her’, the heartfelt piano ballad tells the story of one persons hopeless wish to travel back in time to fix a broken relationship. 

    Explaining the sentiment behind the single, Burns says via a press release: “I wrote ‘8 Hours Behind’ about that period of time after a devastating argument. The wishing you hadn’t said what you said, the desperately hoping they’ll change their mind and stay… the moment it really feels like the end.”

    “I had this idea about boarding a flight and travelling to another time zone to try to alter the past. Chasing time in hopes of reversing it. I’m well aware it’s a far-fetched idea but, love can make you crazy right? It’s a song about, perhaps naively, trying anything and everything to turn things around – where a simple 8 hours could change your whole future.”

    Watch the official visualiser for ‘8 Hours Behind’ below:


    Inspired by the musical talents of legendary artists Joni Mitchell, Elton John, and Julia Micheals, Emily Burns once again demonstrates her knack for writing honest and raw indie-pop gems.

    Filled with an abundance of real, raw emotion, and deeply profound lyrics, Emily continues to use her own personal life experiences to produce meaningful music that’s sure to resonate with her ever growing army of loyal and devoted fans.

    Having initially begun to write music as a kid growing up in both West Lothian, Scotland, and Rugby, Burns decided to pursue music properly in her teens, writing her own tunes and playing gigs, eventually moving to London when she was 18 to follow those dreams. 

    Once a full time resident in the capital, the young star found her musical network opened up, particularly when she bagged a job on the front desk of iconic recording studio Abbey Road. 

    Inspired by the huge names that passed through the studio, post-shift Emily would head up to the studio and record tracks, uploading them to Soundcloud as soon as they were finished and starting to build her reputation and eager fanbase.

    ‘8 Hours Behind’ is available to download / stream via So Recordings here.
