East Side Story
Date undefinedThis debut release displays the great work of such a wonderful artist but was never really promoted by J Records A&R team??? This CD was nominated for a Grammy for Best R&B Contemporary album against mostly the heavily played stuff you hear on the bubble gum pop/rap stations. This album has really never got its true justice since nonsense music has the latter over REAL SOUL when it comes down to sales.
Emily's music crosses many genres and if you take a listen you will not be disappointed! It's just sad that the label under promoted such a wonderful CD and artist...but she will come out shining soon!!!

Date undefinedWow! How has this amazing album and artist eluded the masses??? What a disservice to many music lovers who have been in the dark about this young lady and her music. She is what the music game has been missing.
Within the first few seconds of hearing the first track "Walk In My Shoes", I was hooked. I first learned of this wonderful musician when her brother (who is a talented tap dancer/instructor) played it during my students' tap dance lesson. The rhythmic flow of her songs is incredible. This album is the best collection of music that I have heard in years. "U & I", "Walk In My Shoes", "It Was You", "Hold Me", "Ride With Me", and "Colorblind" are among my favorites, although I love the entire album. It's so different from what we've been inundated with in the market... it's truly a breath of fresh air.
Ms. Emily King is the truth! She sings amazingly, she plays the guitar, and she writes with unique vision. In short, she is the bomb! "East Side Story" is a must-have for anyone who truly appreciates real soul music. From beginning to end, this album pleases; there is something for everyone. She is so eclectic in her delivery that it is hard to categorize her into a particular genre. She's R&B, she's Hip-Hop, she's Jazz, she's Neo-Soul... she does it all.
Emily is a true talent. (I hear that she rocks during her live shows; I will have the pleasure of seeing her perform live in one week).
Peace!
