Buzz Track: Ever After
After being signed by Clive Davis to J Records and receiving a Grammy nomination for her debut album “East Side Story” in 2008, Emily King parted ways with her record label and has continued to work independently. Her follow-up EP “Seven” was recorded in her home receiving high praise from peers like Alicia Keys, Ne-Yo, and Maroon 5. A gentle mix of soul, folk, and rock influences, King’s music emotes the kind of straight to the point storytelling that’s reminiscent of singer/songwriters of the 1970’s. Emily will be showcasing Grammy weekend at the Hotel Cafe – Friday February 8th at 8pm.
