'Beginnings' marks the first chapter in Emily Lord's recording career. This contemporary folk album delivers striking vocals and poignant lyrics worthy of the Americana tradition. An award winning vocalist as a college student, Emily recorded an acoustic version of her song 'Angelina' for a University of Notre Dame compilation CD. The dramatic reaction on campus convinced Emily to record more of her songs, and 'Beginnings' is the result of that effort. Emily's rich voice delivers compelling, emotional, lyrics written straight from the heart. Fan favorites from this album are "Angelina" and "Are You an Angel Tonight", both of which deal with the tragedy of life cut short. Other songs from this album such as "Shores of Alicante", "Dachau," and "Raining in New England" chronicle her experience as she ventured throughout The United States and Europe as a college student. 'Beginnings' is great listening music for people who appreciate powerful vocals and meaningful lyrics.
