Emma Pollock

Begging the Night to Take Hold

£12.99

Released: 26th September 2025. Nine years since her last release, Emma Pollock returns with her fourth studio album 'Begging the Night to Take Hold'. On her most personal work yet, Pollock combines honest and raw songwriting with artful arrangement to both arresting and quietening effect. Curiosity and revelation, playfulness and melancholy co-exist in a singular space. Melody, sometimes spritely, sometimes hesitant, remains at centre stage. Featuring musicians Graeme Smillie (piano), Pete Harvey (cello) & Paul Savage (drums/producer).
