- This is one of the best bits from Take 5.
In 2024 Emily Wurramara released her second album NARA and cemented herself as a powerful indigenous storyteller.
The Warnindhilyagwa woman joined Zan Rowe to Take 5 on the same day her second album was released and the energy in the studio was pumping. It’s very much a record of renewal, and one of Double J's 50 Best Albums of that year.
Listen back to Emily talking about her love of John Fogerty and Cat Power, during her Take 5 on songs of renewal.
