Emma is Asta Bria’s Single Out Now
Good Day Noir Family,
Asta Bria’s new single Emma unfolds with the kind of cinematic elegance that could easily serve as the backdrop to a Disney film—except this is no ordinary fairytale.
Emma is Asta Bria’s Single Out Now
The song’s soaring melody and rich instrumentation capture the essence of childhood dreams and the innocence of ambition, and it’s delivered with an intensity that stays with you for a long time.
The track’s instrumental arrangements are lush and sweeping, conjuring a sense of wonder and possibility. There’s a lightness to the orchestration that mirrors the dreams of its titular character, Emma, a young girl with big aspirations and a desire to change the world.
The musicality here feels like a journey—a progression that ebbs and flows as Emma’s story unfolds, from moments of quiet introspection to bursts of energetic optimism.
But it’s Asta Bria’s voice that truly shine. Her high, ethereal tones manage to pierce through the music with a delicate yet unmistakable strength.
Her vocal delivery is gentle and resolute, capturing the spirit of a young dreamer without ever feeling fragile or overly sentimental. The voice feels like an instrument in its own right, rising and falling with a natural grace that enhances the song’s emotional core.
There’s an undeniable charm in Emma that draws you in—perhaps it’s the simplicity of the melody, or maybe it’s the way Asta Bria’s voice navigates the highs and lows with such precision.
Either way, it’s a song that speaks to the heart, bringing forward a sense of hope that feels pure and timeless.
The production is equally remarkable, with every musician playing their part to create a seamless whole. The strings, piano, and light percussion come together in a way that supports the song without overwhelming it, allowing Asta’s voice to remain at the forefront. It’s a delicate balance, one that feels effortless and masterfully executed.
Emma isn’t just a song about a character—it’s an anthem for anyone who’s ever dared to dream big. Its simplicity and sincerity invite listeners to reflect on their own aspirations, while the music serves as a reminder that even the smallest voice can make a difference.

Dreamy!
“I wrote this song in two minutes. But I just couldn’t find the right way for the production to express that emotion that Emma felt,” comments Asta, “It’s a prayer, it needed to deliver the pain and the anguish that comes from the goodness of a child’s heart, whilst also having the melodic ability to inspire and move the listener. I also wanted Emma’s rubber-stamp on sharing her story. It’s taken time to do that.”
As an expat, a mother, and a brilliantly talented musician who found her sound and voice, Asta Bria knows all about this. She has arrived at a point in her career she always knew she’d reach, where a long, musical journey has led her to deliver a stunning collection of songs imbued with joy and warmth, songs that showcase her range of talents; composer, virtuoso violinist, lyricist par excellence, canny crafter of pop gems. Truly, she has never been happier, nor shone as brightly as an artist, and the journey she undertook to get here taught her many things. “I am alive”, she sings over and over on ‘So-Hm’ and up there, on stage, she truly is.
Her journey began during a childhood spent behind the Iron Curtain, in Vilnuis, Lithuania. Snatches of western pop were caught on scratchy radio broadcasts and committed to tape, to be cherished and savoured. George Michael, Elton John, and The Beatles all gave glimpses of another world, one of freedom, and the young Bria was captivated. Inspired, she entered a local violin contest aged just 11; naturally, she won. But her real education began aged 14, at the prestigious music conservatory of Vilnius, where the size of this other world finally became apparent.
Jazz, pop, and classical composers opened her eyes and ears to possibility, and she would spend days studying hard and nights dancing till dawn, Manhattan Transfer sitting alongside Vivaldi in shaping her tastes and dreams. But Vilnius was too small to satisfy her insatiable appetite for knowledge – for life – and so she moved again; first to the Royal Conservatory of Brussels and then London’s Notting Hill, the place where she found her true self and her family, and one she still calls home.
