Weirdo by Emma-Jean Thackray, her second album to date, will be released via Brownswood Recordings / Parlophone Records on 25th April 2025!

Drawing on an eclectic mix of influences—grunge, pop, soul, p-funk, and jazz— “Weirdo” is a triumphant celebration of survival and individuality. Written, performed, recorded, mixed, produced, and arranged entirely by Thackray in her South London flat, the album stands as a testament to her extraordinary musicianship and fearless self-expression. The album artwork was also designed by Emma, catch the cover tracklist above.

“Weirdo” is available for pre-order in the following formats:
- Limited edition Rose (Official Store / Bandcamp exclusive)
- Limited Edition Clear (Indie Stores Only)
- Open Edition Black Vinyl
- CD
We also have “Weirdo” T shirts and bundles via the official store.
Fill your boots.

To kick things off, the first single off the album ‘Wanna Die’ is out today, alongside a music video featuring the one and only Gilles Peterson.

With its scattered, uptempo beat driving the track forward, the song juxtaposes its rhythmically playful foundation against poignant reflections on mortality and resilience.
Head to the link in bio for more information, to pre-order / pre-save or sign up ❤️

And finally, to celebrate the album release, Emma-Jean Thackray will be taking the stage for an intimate gig at Hoxton Hall - London on May 14th. Tickets go live this Thursday (or Wednesday if you are signed up to Emma’s mailing list / community) so keep an eye out for a link!

We hope you enjoy,
Love, the Brownswood Fam x

Lovely vibes last night at Total Refreshment Centre - a fundraiser for the music community in LA affected by fires in partnership with Steve Reid Foundation.
