Flyte’s Soulful Journey: ‘Emily and Me’ – A Postcard from LA

Flyte have shared their new single ‘Emily and Me’, marking their second release of 2025 following last month’s ‘I’m Not There’. The British duo, comprising Will Taylor and Nick Hill, recorded the track during an intensive two-month writing period in the West Country with BRIT Award-winning producer Ethan Johns, known for his work with Paul McCartney, Ray Lamontagne, and Laura Marling.

“Emily and Me is a postcard from LA to London from two passively stoned Englishmen driving round in our friend Emily’s Subaru,” Taylor explains. “We wrote the song back in the summer 2022 on a break between touring to see people and write songs in California. There had been fires that year but nothing like what happened this January. A feeling was hanging in the air during that visit, something like bliss but also that a storm might be brewing.”

Penny-farthing love, California dreams, and a hint of nostalgia blend beautifully in this track. Flyte have crafted ‘Emily and Me’ for the listeners who crave genuine emotion in their playlists. This latest release captures a unique sonic experience, celebrating their mood and moment.

Not only are they sharing their musical gifts, but Flyte also takes pride in mentoring the next generation of songwriting talent. Alongside their own releases, the pair have been writing for other artists, including Holly Humberstone and Sigrid, while expanding their songwriting workshops to include digital experiences for international participants.

It’s fascinating to explore their connections. Their collaborators encompass a wide range of talent, including Laura Marling, Billie Marten, Madison Cunningham, Bombay Bicycle Club, The Staves, and even actress Florence Pugh.
