'Emilie Mover has that most rare quality as a vocalist of being able to make each person feel that she is singing directly to them. Her non-linear songs take melodic and lyrical turns that are slyly eccentric. 'Saved in the Bathtub' is one of the greatest 'gospel' songs ever written. Right up there with 'Amazing Grace'. 'Mountainside' traverses the emotional slopes of relationship - and you never know when you might slip. Another lyric cries 'Being in love is a painful and fleeting place to be'...while 'Every Song' clarifies the art to us. 'There's something wrong with every song'.
The fact that there's 'something wrong' IN or with every song is the
reason they have to be created in the first place. Very evocative stuff.'

Emilie Mover was conceived in Miami Beach, Florida at the Paradise Beach Hotel. She was born in Montreal on a snowy November evening. She grew up in Toronto and spent some time in New York City where she began singing jazz with her father, saxophonist Bob Mover. She later moved back to Toronto, where she began to play guitar and write songs soon after. She began playing them for an audience at age 20 at the Tranzac Club in Toronto and has been doing so ever since, recently having had the honor of opening for Richie Havens at Hugh's Room.
Here are some of her songs, hope you enjoy them!

Yo dude! Thanx for the add. I'm looking for storytellers and radical rockers for my radio show Sound Resistance on Vancouver Co-operative Radio (www. coopradio. org). Keep in touch if you have a CD worthy of airplay. I'm also writing for BC Musician magazine and am always looking for good touring stories. Keep in touch, thanx very much..joey taken in Barkerville British Columbia at Artswells Festival 2008
Thanks for playin' last night. Your voice sounds every bit as beautiful live as it does on your recordings. Hopefully we can play together again sometime. Cheers,
As I'm writing this I'm listening to your music which I have since yeterday I finally found out where that song I loved so much from the Bounce commercial came from. Instantly I went out trying to look for your cd, couldn't find it, but thanks to the lovely internet I was able to buy (download) it from itunes.
I completely love your music and style. Your voice is really soothing and since yesterday I've been playing your album non-stop... to the point that I think my iPod is going to die in batteries.
Once again, thanks for the add and hope to hear you soon live here in Los Angeles, CA. ♥
I do-in fact I have a gig on fri 24 up the street from me, and julian and christian are supposed to be there, so we could have a major hang after at my place, and I 'd really like if you could sing a song or two with me if you want . If so think of a standard or twwo you might like to do. I'm thinking of putting together a little arrangement of Venus As A Boy (Bjork), and come to think of it, your voice would really sound great doing that-do you know it? if not I could send the mp3 for you to check, but whatever no pressure, but it would make me happy if you did something, and the boys would love to hear you I'm sure---or send me the music to one of your tunes-XOX
i loved seeing you the other night. ahem. a poem. for you, one of my faves:
Possibilities I prefer movies. I prefer cats. I prefer the oaks along the Warta. I prefer Dickens to Dostoyevsky. I prefer myself liking people to myself loving mankind. I prefer keeping a needle and thread on hand, just in case. I prefer the color green. I prefer not to maintain that reason is to blame for everything. I prefer exceptions. I prefer to leave early. I prefer talking to doctors about something else. I prefer the old fine-lined illustrations. I prefer the absurdity of writing poems to the absurdity of not writing poems. I prefer, where love's concerned, nonspecific anniversaries that can be celebrated every day. I prefer moralists who promise me nothing. I prefer cunning kindness to the over-trustful kind. I prefer the earth in civvies. I prefer conquered to conquering countries. I prefer having some reservations. I prefer the hell of chaos to the hell of order. I prefer Grimms' fairy tales to the newspapers' front pages. I prefer leaves without flowers to flowers without leaves. I prefer dogs with uncropped tails. I prefer light eyes, since mine are dark. I prefer desk drawers. I prefer many things that I haven't mentioned here to many things I've also left unsaid. I prefer zeroes on the loose to those lined up behind a cipher. I prefer the time of insects to the time of stars. I prefer to knock on wood. I prefer not to ask how much longer and when. I prefer keeping in mind even the possibility that existence has its own reason for being.
