Emily Laliotis finds her Americana roots in “The Longest Night”
Timeless vocalist and songwriter Emily Laliotis releases her latest single, “The Longest Night” on March 3rd. The song invokes the experience of sitting with someone in a dark moment, living through the pain together. The desperation and connection between two people comes through as they try just to make it through the night. Its simple, emotive production features a soaring Gretsch solo that gives the track its Americana home. Produced by Tony Serzo and co-written with Brenna Kupferman, “The Longest Night” brings a comfort that rides on the back of the soaring melody.
