I Want to Be the Anchor is Emma Miller's debut album — recorded over three weeks in rural Tennessee with producer Nick Bullock, a string quartet and some of Nashville's finest musicians. Released April 24th.
At a time when the music industry is once again on the cusp of signing away artists' futures, — this time to AI companies — Miller has made the radical decision to withhold the full version of the album from all streaming platforms. If you want to experience this record, you have to own it.
"Today, I have a growing desire for real connection and real community. Releasing my album in a way that means you have to actively choose to listen, to seek it out, is all part of deepening listeners' relationship with the music and the project as a whole."
