Emma Harner returns with haunting new single ‘The Lake’ Featuring Henry Jamison
Boston-based singer-songwriter Emma Harner has released her new single ‘The Lake’ (ft. Henry Jamison), following her acclaimed debut EP Taking My Side, and announced her fall US and European headline tour.
‘The Lake’ continues to showcase Harner’s unique blend of intricate guitar work and emotionally direct songwriting. The track meditates on the ache of holding onto something already slipping away, inspired by a fleeting relationship and named after a lake near her hometown of Lincoln, Nebraska. Produced by Doug Schadt, known for his work with Maggie Rogers, Claud, and Ashe, the song expands Harner’s sonic palette while keeping her guitar-driven foundation at the forefront.
The single features Vermont-based artist Henry Jamison, whose evocative vocals add a haunting counterpoint to Harner’s sound. Jamison, celebrated for collaborations with Maisie Peters, JOSEPH, and Fenne Lily, contributes to the song’s layered emotional resonance and contemporary folk textures.
Jamison says:
“I was a fan of Emma’s and had heard the first verse and chorus of ‘The Lake’ in one of her videos, long before she wrote to me and asked if I would want to sing on it. She was working with my buddy Doug, who produced a lot of my third record, and they had made the song into this towering, incredibly moody thing. I wrote my verse inspired by that atmosphere and tracked it with them in Brooklyn. Emma is a generational talent and I feel very lucky to work with her.”
Harner adds:
“Henry’s voice gives the song a whole new perspective and flavor. ‘The Lake’ is one of my favorites so far and I can’t wait for everyone to hear it.”
‘The Lake’ (ft. Henry Jamison) is out now on all streaming platforms. Fans can catch Emma Harner live this fall on her US and European headline tour, with London and Manchester shows already sold out.
