SINGER/ SONGWRITER Emma Langford has released a new video for her song โ€˜Tug Oโ€™Warโ€™. The video was made by Kate Laver featuring actress Nanci Cruz in a biographical account of the inspiration behind the song.

Tug Oโ€™War was written in a frenzied burst of inspiration in 2016 when Emma was about to throw in the towel and was having serious doubts about pursuing a career in music.

The track was recorded in one take and uploaded to YouTube. Tug Oโ€™Warโ€™s success launched her unexpectedly into the hearts and minds of strangers around the world.

Tug Oโ€™War is now re-released and coincides with Emmaโ€™s Irish and European tour, giving the tune once again its own chance to shine. Also on release is a nifty remix of the same track by Northern Irish electronic artist Arvo Party.

Says Emma, โ€œIโ€™m looking forward to sending Tug Oโ€™ War out into the world again – this song for me is a constant reminder of how far Iโ€™ve come, and why Iโ€™m in the music business, to share stories and connect with people.โ€

โ€œThe song is about not letting the little voice of anxiety inside your head stop you from brazenly going forth and reaching your potential.โ€

Emmaโ€™s debut album โ€˜Quiet Giantโ€™ is out now for stream/download on bandcamp.com. It is also available on limited 12โ€ vinyl exclusively at Steamboat Music and at Emmaโ€™s live gigs.
