Emmanuelle was invited by composer George Fenton and Richard Attenborough to sing the opening score "Crossroads – a Dawn Raid" to the successful British film Cry Freedom.
This sudden return led to her working with Gabrielle Yared on the movie soundtrack of City of Angels, and again with George Fenton for the "Mandela Benefit Concert" at the Royal Albert Hall followed the next year with her and Gabrielle Yared both debuting at The Proms.
While concentrating on movie soundtracks over the next six years, including Pride (2004), Duma (2005), Racing Stripes (2004), Tsotsi (2005) and The Constant Gardener (2001), Emmanuelle started writing again, culminating in her returning from 2007 to her first love of jazz.
She has been working with her band ever since, performing at venues across the UK and Europe, writing and singing her own material as well as original arrangements of the classic American Songbook.
In 2010 she released her first solo jazz album Orry as a collaboration of her own BuckOrrLinDill and Splashpoint records.
