Nara is the second studio album by Indigenous Australian musician, Emily Wurramara. The album was released 23 August 2024 and supported by an Australian tour.[1] "Nara" means "nothing" in the Anindilyakwa language.
At the 2024 ARIA Music Awards, it won ARIA Award for Best Adult Contemporary Album.[2]
Mitch Mosk from Atwood Magazine said "Emily Wurramara's humanity shines throughout her breathtaking, liberating sophomore album Nara, an ambitious and unapologetically bold, soul-baring record that refuses to be not just one thing, but everything as the artist speaks her truth, spreads her wings, and soars."[3]
Triple R said "The album explores personal growth, mental health and cultural identity. Musically, Nara blends indie rock, pop, R&B, neo-soul, folk, roots/blues rock and electronic music, showing Wurramara's versatility as an artist and producer. Restrained ballads sit alongside more dance-infused club music, all unified by Wurramara's compelling vocal delivery and storytelling style."[4]
