Brand Identity, Album

The Idea

With the launch of Emily Braden’s album “Cannon & Sparrow” she was looking for a visual collaborator to help express the personal impact and graphic style that this sophomore album has allowed her to explore.

The Challenge

Quirky, serious, sentimental, yet bold. Balancing the different visual ideas allowed for the artwork to be both powerful yet elegant.

About

Boise-born, Harlem-honed vocalist, songwriter and lyricist Emily Braden’s sound is an effortless blend of jazz and soul. Winner of New York City’s ‘Best of the Best’ Jazzmobile Vocal Competition, she has been a celebrated name on NYC’s music scene for more than a decade. Braden’s sophomore release Cannon & Sparrow is a vibrant collection of powerful originals and reimagined standards. Both daring and delicate, the album marks the second studio collaboration between Braden and musical partner of more than fifteen years, Misha Piatigorsky. As producer, pianist, composer and arranger, Piatigorsky expertly spotlights Braden’s vocal freedom and fresh and forward interpretation. The catalyst for Cannon & Sparrow was the passing of Braden’s father within a week of the 2016 presidential election. The recording process began years later and was completed early on in the global pandemic. The songs were largely workshopped in front of international audiences over the course of Braden’s residency at NYC’s famed 55 Bar (now closed).
