What Emily Did

November 18, 2009

By Eliza K.

I can honestly say I’m a fan of pretty much everything Emily Haines has done so far, musically. There is Metric of course, and there is her solo stuff, but there’s also – let’s not forget – her many wonderful collaborations. Some, like “Anthems for a 17-year Old Girl“, seem to be universally loved while others, like “Stopwatch Hearts” or “Uptown Girl“, are less well known. From her songs with Stars and The Stills, to her involvement in Crystal Method and even Tiesto projects – it seems that this is one musician who cannot go wrong. Here’s a look at some of the highlights of her career.

What Emily Did

K.C. Accidental – Them [Pop Song #3333] (Anthems for the Could’ve Bin Pills, 2000)

Stars – On Peak Hill (Nightsongs, 2001)
Stars – Going, Going, Gone (Nightsongs, 2001)

Broken Social Scene – Anthems for a 17-Year Old Girl (You Forgot It in People, 2002)

Delerium – Stopwatch Hearts (Chimera, 2003)

Broken Social Scene – Backyards (Bee Hives, 2004)

Metric – Poster of a Girl (Live It Out, 2005)

What Emily Did Next

Jason Collett – Fire (Idols of Exile, 2005)

The Stills – Baby Blues (Without Feathers, 2006)

MSTRKRFT – She’s Good for Business (The Looks, 2006)

Emily Haines & The Soft Skeleton – Doctor Blind (Knives Don’t Have Your Back, 2007)

Metric – Hardwire (Grow Up and Blow Away, 2007)

Crystal Method – Come Back Clean (Divided By Night, 2009)

Tiesto – Knock You Out (Kaleidoscopes, 2009)

k-os – Uptown Girl (Yes!, 2009)

Metric – Blindness (Fantasies, 2009)

Some hearts are true…

Couldn't agree more, she rocks.

Two of my all-time favorite Emily songs are from her 2004 Untitled Tour EP:

Detective Daughter (7:30 version):

[...] Nesse tudo que ela já fez, além do Metric e trabalho solo, tem Broken Social Scene, participações em músicas do Stars, The Stills, Jason Collett, Crystal Method, Tiesto e muitos outros. E bom, se você não conhece a Emily, o Metric ou qualquer um dos artistas que eu citei, clique aqui e veja (quase) tudo que a Emily já fez. [...]
