I think if Marvin Gaye was born of the fairer sex, he may have come out singing somewhat like soul singer Emily King. A woman that can weave the hidden sweetness of pain into an irresistible set of soul jams, her EP ‘Seven’ and last year’s ‘Ordinary Heart’ are the perfect challenge to any cloudy day. Emily’s jams reveal life’s difficulties, while challenging things to work themselves out to her sweet grooves. Check her site for more dates to be announced soon. – Mike Levine (@Goldnuggets
