Maris, Stella | Single | 2025 |
Emma recorded her first EP in 2007 on an 8 track in her friend’s sitting room, the day before setting off on a UK tour. Her first studio EP, PURGE, followed in 2013 and FRACTURES in 2017 – the latter of which garnered rave reviews, radio airplay, and saw her tour across Ireland, Lithuania, the UK, and a number of dates in the US and Canada. She has been compared to Kate Bush, Aldous Harding, Phoebe Bridgers, and much loved Irish artists like Cathy Davey and I Have a Tribe.
Emma embraces fan interaction, and has always been very active online. Currently, Emma is streaming regularly on Twitch and sharing new material and behind the scenes footage on Patreon (exclusive to Patrons). Her latest single, Maris, Stella (2025) also saw her push the boundaries of fan experiences, creating an online interactive gallery about the world of the song in collaboration with game developers. 2026 is set to see O'Reilly release her follow up EP, and tour in Ireland for the first time since 2016.
Press Quotes:
Emma can switch from dramatic to pop to folk to rock without ever compromising the quality of the finished track. “Fractures” is an incredible EP and is bound to catapult Emma to even bigger things.
Dave McMahon, Street Ceol
Emma has clearly created a little niche for herself to create music that is beautiful and bursting with colourful fragments of wonderful art.
Danu, Indie Buddie
If you are looking for one of the most original-sounding Irish EP releases from the past few months then look no further than Emma O'Reilly's truly delightful Fractures...I can't quite put my finger on this EP, it's too hard to pigeon-hole or describe in a small few words, apart from mind-blown.
Remy Connolly, Remy's Film and Music Blog
A captivating E.P...a refreshing change to the mundane pop that is pumped into the music charts these days. There is so much emotion [in] Emma’s songs; In ‘Cervantes’, Emma’s voice is...haunting, and genuinely gave me the chills whilst listening to it. I had to pause for a moment because I was just in awe of how pure her voice was.
