Embrace is an English rock band hailing from West Yorkshire, formed in the early 1990s. The group experienced a surge in popularity in the post-Britpop era with their emotionally charged anthems and soaring, epic sound. Fronted by lead vocalist Danny McNamara, alongside his brother Richard McNamara on guitar, Steve Firth on bass, Mickey Dale on keyboards, and Mike Heaton on drums, Embrace carved out a niche with their debut album "The Good Will Out" in 1998, which went on to be one of the fastest-selling debut albums by a British band, cementing their place in the UK music scene.

Throughout their career, Embrace have released several acclaimed albums, continuing to build their legacy as a band known for heartfelt songwriting and passionate live performances. Recent releases like "Love is a Basic Need" and its accompanying orchestral versions showcase the band's ability to evolve and adapt their sound, exploring deeper, more mature themes of love and human connection. Despite periods of hiatus and the ever-shifting musical landscape, Embrace's dedication to their craft and ability to connect with fans through authentic, emotionally resonant music remains undeniable. With their latest release, "How To Be A Person Like Other People," Embrace continues to exhibit their resilience and ability to produce compelling music, evident in their enduring appeal to a dedicated fan base.
