Also released that year was Laced / Unlaced. Later in 2007, she re-released Enchant along with A Bit o' This & That, which was a collection of previously unheard songs, re-mixes, and tracks from older EPs. Many of the songs are not written from the perspective of Emilie, but from Ophelia herself, the Lady of Shalott, and others. Much of the album is influenced by William Shakespeare, as is made obvious by the title. The songs are mostly about madness and suicide, particularly in water. This album was far Darker and Edgier than Enchant, and a reflection of Emilie's mental state, as this album was released as an agreement with herself that she'd make the album instead of killing herself. This began with the Opheliac EP, followed by the full album Opheliac. This was the Enchant era, when Emilie was a faerie.Īfter going through an extremely awful period in her life that resulted in a suicide attempt and hospitalisation, she was inspired to move in a different artistic direction. Also contained in this CD was the Enchant Puzzle, which no one has ever solved. In 2003 her first full vocal album was released: Enchant, an album filled with a number of songs inspired by fairy tales. The following year she put out the Chambermaid and By the Sword EPs. a classical album released in 2000, when she was 20 or 21. What we do know is that she started playing violin at the age of four, a talent that she has continued to this day, and that she voluntarily stayed away from most of the mainstream music communities (both classical and commercial) due to bad experiences and clashes within them: In fact, most of her albums were self published by her own company. Of Emilie's life, very little is known at the moment. She's self described as that she sounds " like the best cup of English Breakfast spiked with cyanide and smashed on your antique wallpaper." Emilie Autumn Liddell (born September 22 1979) is a Gothic poet, singer / songwriter, violinist, harpsichordist, performance artist, feminist, and author.
