New York City-bred singer-songwriter Emily King—whose 2007 debut, East Side Story, was nominated for a Grammy for Best Contemporary R&B Album—delivers smooth soul tunes with breathy, effortlessly polished vocals. Having opened for Alicia Keys, Erykah Badu, and Nas, King’s timeless brand of R&B should win over fans of fellow neo-soul revivalists Joss Stone and John Legend.
