Sister With a Voice

Timeless Music.......Words, seemingly used in reference to those artist who have trail blazed through an art form which has spanned over generations, ethnicity, and genre. Those artist mostly never saw themselves as legends until a new generation comes along and finds imitation is the best form of flattery. But lets be clear every artist has been inspired from their four fathers or mothers that laid the foundation before them...., and yet how do they still find a way to carve their own path? "I just try to write songs that are honest to me. Songs people can remember and pass on to their kids, songs that will stand the test of time." Emily King.

Spoken from the mouth of a 21 yr old native New Yorker, who honestly never had to go far to gain her musical birthright, born to jazz singers she learned at an early age what she was born to do.....music. From that knowledge she took the world's other great song book called life and chose to follow her path into creating her own voice on her upcoming release, "East Side Story". Many on first listen may draw comparisons to Ms. King's label mate the incredible Ms. Alicia Keys, because of her social conscience yet soul stirring sound. Though the two seem to be cut from the same cloth, Emily King shouldn't be considered just a replicated version, but clearly viewed through her own lens of "A young girl, trying to find her way" according to Emily herself. With her new single "Walk in My Shoes", Emily expresses that she is striving not to be put into a box, but rather is trying to stay true to what she knows....and that's just Emily. Only time will tell how this young songbird's story will be told generations from now, but one thing that is for certain is that she has begun the first chapter and it sounds like its gonna be a good read.

Look out for Emily King's upcoming release...."East Side Story" www.emilykingonline.com, www.myspace.com/emilykingmusic
