Poised for major mainstream breakthrough with the June 27th release of the new double A-side single ‘Any Time You Fall / Just For One Night’
“A cross between Michael Bublé and the pre-Robbie songs of the reunited Take That… you could see songs like Any Time You Fall flying onto radio.” – Sunday Times Culture
“Say privyet to a new crooner on the block. Let’s call him Michael Bubléski.” – Esquire
“One to file beside Take That’s ‘Progress’ as an album for mum that the coolest of kids can secretly enjoy, too.” – BBC Music
Singer-songwriter Emin made the first inroads to repeating his major success in Russia on these shores with the recent release of his first single ‘Obvious’ and debut UK album ‘Wonder’. The release earned Emin the distinction of being the first ever Russian artist to be playlisted at Radio 2 and at Magic, and was followed by television appearances on This Morning and Alan Titchmarsh and plenty of positive press attention.
Now Emin will seal his mainstream status in the UK and Europe with the release of a new double A-side single ‘Any Time You Fall / Just For One Night’ on June 27th on Saffron Music.
Produced by Brian Rawling (Enrique Igelsias, Cher) and written by Wayne Hector (‘Everybody in Love’ and ‘Beat Again’ by JLS) and Steve Robson (James Morrison, Take That), ‘Any Time You Fall’ sublimely combines a tender verse with an uplifting stratospheric hook that recalls the best of Take That’s ballads. Sure to be Emin’s biggest hit to date, the single will be accompanied by a video directed by Phil Griffin (Paul McCartney, Kings of Leon, Amy Winehouse).
The other A-side, ‘Just For One Night’, captures a different side to Emin’s sound with pulsating beats informing an invigorating moment of contemporary electro-pop. Like the majority of the ‘Wonder’ album, ‘Just For One Night’ was co-written by Emin and produced by Brian Rawling.
New mixes of both tracks have been created by remix pioneers Almighty who have previously reworked tracks for artists including Katy Perry, Kelly Clarkson and Nelly Furtado
Already an arena-conquering star in Moscow and Baku, Emin will play his first full UK show at Under The Bridge, an intimate club based underneath Chelsea’s Stamford Bridge football ground, on June 00th (?) to coincide with the release of the single. Further London shows are set to be announced imminently.
“I’m really proud that my album has received so much positive attention and gained so many new friends and fans around the world,” said Emin. “I’m especially excited to be able to play my music in London – I can’t wait!”
