Whenever Emily Nenni is onstage, she welcomes everybody to the dancefloor. The California-born, Nashville-based singer-songwriter wants the honkytonk to be a place of escape, where fans can shed their troubles for a few hours and feel safe and free.
βYou can have trouble whenever you mix late hours and alcohol,β she says. βIβve been in bad situations before, and Iβve tried to learn from those experiences. But itβs heartbreaking that some people donβt feel safe or donβt feel like theyβre allowed to exist in this world. So Iβm always watching the dancefloor and making sure everybodyβs being respectful.β Or, as she sings on the supremely funky title track to her new album Movinβ Shoes, βHereβs where you dress for you and dance the way that you want to.β
Emily Nenni and Movinβ Shoes is all about the right fit. Made in Memphis, the Nashville based singer-songwriterβs fourth full length album is as much about dancing as following the steps of understanding and respect. Nenniβs songs reflect her solicitude, but are much more soulful in this setting - taking inspiration from the many impassioned performers of the region, to 60βs girl groups and honky tonk heroes.
Pairing once again with producer John James Tourville (The Deslondes), Movinβ Shoes was cut at Matt -Ross-Spangβs new Southern Grooves studio. The 13 tracks tie up nicely with added covers from Paul Simon, Delbert McClinton and Cass Elliott.
Movinβ Shoes will be released on May 1st via New West Records.
