Pocketful Of Sun (CD Album)
Pocketful of Sun - CD album by Emma King. Release Date: 22nd August 2025
The sunflower-strewn fields of Emma King’s new album Pocketful of Sun have a deeper meaning than just a hopeful nod to the British summer. Emma’s autistic daughter Eloise has played her part in the song’s inspiration, and the sunflower has become a symbol of empathy and inclusivity for those with hidden disabilities.
The album’s title track sums up the infectious joy of childhood, whilst Better Than It Was deals directly with the struggles and inequalities of the county’s current SEND (Special Educational Needs & Disabilities) system, and a need for reform.
With a nod to the cheeky mischief of The Chicks, the country guitar-rock of Sheryl Crow, and Emma’s idiosyncratic soulful take on Americana, Pocketful of Sun takes gives us a glimpse into Emma’s years on the road in Nashville, TN (18 Hours), her thoughts on the music industry (Sweetest Song) and a moving reflection of her hometown of Hull (Guess It Was Ours).
Pocketful of Sun marks the return of one of the original trailblazers of the UK country music scene…the new album will be released on August 22nd, 2025. Pre-order now!
