I have been eagerly anticipating the follow-up music releases from the exceptionally talented independent pop multi-hyphenate Emmett Daly. Recognizing that Emmett balances his passionate pursuit of music alongside a demanding career as a doctor. It was clear that the period of waiting for new music would be an inevitable yet worthwhile journey.
