Emily King Supplies Warmth Via Retro Disco-Soul




Soundcheck show

Summary: <p>Grammy-nominated chanteuse <a href="http://emilykingmusic.com/">Emily King</a> went into the family business via a different route, that of an R&amp;B-influenced singer-songwriter. (She’s the daughter of New York jazz vocalists who has moved to the Catskills.) Her latest record, <em>Scenery, </em>due in February of 2019 (on ATO Records), promises to be a clever mix of R&amp;B, pop, and perhaps a little retro disco. A bicoastal preview tour brings Emily King and her band to our studio to perform some of her brand-new “retro-cinematic” tunes (<a href="https://www.npr.org/sections/allsongs/2018/10/03/653637294/emily-king-returns-with-the-irresistible-remind-me" target="_blank">NPR Music</a>) before playing at the storied Apollo Theatre tonight. <em>- Caryn Havlik</em></p> <p><em>Watch the session via Facebook here:</em></p> <p>Or via <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZeW90y6YnAM" target="_blank">Youtube</a>:</p>
