Synopsis

Album Description
2002 album finds the Canadian singer/songwriter collaborating with producer Wally Gagel (Folk Implosion, Eels, The Rolling Stones), long-time childhood friend Daniel Burns & Sheryl Crow/Oasis keyboard guru, Mike Rowe. On Asian Blue Gryner combines the pop sensibility of the 80's music she was raised on with the more stripped-down approach to recording she has come to favor to create an album of emotional highs & lows. From the biting but catchy 'Beautiful Things' to the lamenting 'Green Goodnight', Asian Blue is Emm Gryner at her best.

"Emm Gryner has been my favourite female artist for a long time now. 'Asianblue' is Emm's newest release filled with pop rock anthems. Though more pop driven then her other albums, it still gives off amazing energy and it still has classic Emm lyrics and piano. A great CD for the car or when you're hanging out outside in the backyard.01 Symphonic : the album opens beautifully with this fast paced song02 Beautiful Things : the single, amazing hook and melody03 Northern Holiday : was my favourite song when I first got the album, still amazing though no longer my favourite song on the CD04 Free : the lyrics hit home, a beautifully written song about wanting to be free05 Young Rebel : this song has great lyrics06 Siamese Star : a slower song but nonetheless a great song to listen to whatever your mood07 Lonestar : one of my favourites, really catchy and a great tune08 Christopher : very slow, amazing heartfelt lyrics and piano is superb09 Divine Like You : it's got a different tune and I like it10 East Coast Angel : my favourite song, I just love the melody and lyrics11 Green Goodnight : slow, sad, beautiful. The true Emm.If you want to listen to good music, buy this CD!"

"Back in 1998 when she released 'Public' and had her only real radio hit 'Summerlong' she was starting to get a bit of attention. But when she got dropped from her record label and had to become an indie artist, exposure became more difficult. This is partly good as she has become a role model of sorts for aspiring indie artists, but at the same time it is a shame that she is not better known. She could have a level of fame similar to Tori Amos, not huge but certainly a known name. Asian Blue is perhaps her strongest work to date(Public and Science Fair are pretty solid too) with a variety of sounds and musical styles incorporated into the record. Solid from start to finish, there isn't a bad track on the album. Asian Blue and Emm Gryner are true hidden gems in Canadian music. Go check out this album, you won't be disappointed. I would give it at least 4 stars, heck make it 5, this woman needs some exposure!"
Awesome, once again

"I got a sample tape of Emm's album "Public" years ago, when I was in jr high, and I thought she was excellent! I didnt find the album until 5 years later, and I was very pleased! So, I decided to treat myself and test some more of her music and I was REALLY impressed! Im glad I got the album, and I think anyone that likes to try new music, go for it! You wont regret it. This album has songs that each have their own sound, and yet you know it all blends together.



The first album on the track "Symphonic" was an excellent start to the album, it gets you into the groove. My favorite track would be "Divine" which, the way i see it, seems to be about being so enamored with someone that the only word to describe it is divine. "East Coast Angel" reminds me of a friend that I have lost touch with, that meant a lot to me, but we have seemed to lose each other through distance, and other people being in the way.



This album is AWESOME, and I HIGHLY recommend it. If I could, I would give it 10 stars."
