Emerald – Musical Gems was released worldwide on 25 February 2014. The album features vocalists Chloë Agnew, Susan McFadden, Lisa Lambe, and fiddler Máiréad Nesbitt. Agnew had left the group prior to the release of this album, making it the last to feature her as a principal performer until she returned as a guest performer for 2021's Postcards from Ireland. Unlike previous releases, while classified as a studio album, the track listing of Emerald – Musical Gems consists of re-recordings of songs previously covered by the group.
