Emily Haines On World Cafe

XPN | By Talia Schlanger

Published December 14, 2017 at 6:16 PM EST

Emily Haines

In this session, we slip into the world of Emily Haines and The Soft Skeleton. Haines is the lead singer of the electro-tinged rock and roll band Metric, but in her solo work you won't find any wailing guitars or radical synths — the spotlight shines right on her voice and the work of art that is her songwriting.

Hear Emily Haines, solo on the piano, in the player above.
