Emily Nicole Green has today released her new 5 track EP titled ‘Outrunning The Animal’. An EP recorded with the conviction of a musical master and true songwriter. Each song is a story meant for us all, each done with Emily’s unique blend of stellar songwriting and stunning vocals. Think Carole King and Alanis Morissette while enjoying a good wine in the privacy of your own home alone with nothing to influence you before you realize this is something new and unfiltered coming through your stereo with originality leading the way. That’s Emily Nicole Green.

“Outrunning The Animal is an invitation to face ourselves. We are part animal and part human and the more we learn to be with the parts of ourselves that are unwieldy and untidy and very much alive, the more these parts can stop sabotaging us and fueling our addictions and anxieties in failed attempts to get our acknowledgment and validation. These emotional parts of us will eventually demand to be heard. We can’t outrun the animal because we are the animal. In spite of our best efforts, we can’t outrun ourselves.I hope these songs will be like close friends that you can call on when you want to feel some kind of catharsis or when you want to feel a little bit less alone.”
