Of the upcoming album, reviewer Jeff Giles writes: [Emmich] is a damn fine pop songwriter with a gift for laying bare the pale, dark recesses of the human heart & a knack for the kind of hooky arrangements & sunny, layered arrangements that make the whole thing go down easy.

There is a full story on Val in the Dec 2nd Sunday edition of the NY Times. Here's a short blurb: "Val Emmich may not be the first rock singer-songwriter to see a major-label record deal go sour, but he’s one of the few who seems to be getting the last laugh....To start, there is his still-thriving music career....He has also just completed a novel....Last but probably not least, there is his day job [where] Emmich has been drawing a paycheck by smooching with the actresses Tina Fey and Lucy Liu on the sets of the TV shows “30 Rock” and “Cashmere Mafia....[Emmich] has fully rediscovered himself artistically.... [It's] shaping up to be a multiplatform reinvention."MISS VAL ON NBC'S '30 ROCK'?

V.E. will once again team up with producer Jason Cupp this summer for a week long recording stint in Los Angeles for an as-of-yet undetermined fall releaase. Stay tuned for more info.CD REVIEW IN BIG TAKEOVER MAGAZINE
The following review of Sunlight Searchparty appears in the latest issue of Big Takeover Magazine: "The big labels had no idea what to do with it. It's too honest, too real, brighter than emo, and more rock than "sensitive singer boy." So now he's trying again - by himself - and hopefully the word will spread. Moving from angstful punk to indie dance to charming piano-pop, Emmich throws around tightly wound lyrics with a distinctive voice that soars from Thom Yorke heights to a Joseph Arthur drawl without sounding forced, and keeps a firm grasp on the dynamic music being played around him."TWO NEW LIVE VIDEO PERFORMANCES
