Elizabeth Freeborn, raised in Mylor Bridge, has debuted Myrgh an Mor, which translates to Daughter of the Sea.

The music video for this track, which releases on March 25, is filmed by Ross Freeborn, the singer's brother.

The video will further symbolise the wide, wild ocean in capturing Ms Freeborn's close bond with nature.

Ms Freeborn's debut single is the first song to be released from her upcoming album Emerald.

The album, spanning ten tracks, aims to immerse listeners in soundscapes inspired by the natural world.

Complementing her experimental song writing and vocal soundscapes, Emerald also features authentic nature recordings made by Ms Freeborn herself in Cornwall.

The singer also intends to introduce listeners to the historical Cornish language that is slowly but steadily reviving among the local populace today.

Ms Freeborn has previously been part of the local band Wake the River for four years, which released three albums and performed at various local venues, including The Eden Project, The Minack Theatre and the Lost Gardens of Heligan.

She was also a soprano singer for the Cornish language project in The Breselor Ensemble in 2023 and worked with Benjamin Sutcliffe in a music project The Trelyva Collective, focused on the revival of the Cornish language.

Her association with Wake the River also brought her in collaboration with Amy Woodburn, who acts as the producer for her work in Emerald.

The full album is expected to be released in the summer.
