Emma King – “Sweetest Song”

Born in Hull and now based in York, this British singer and songwriter has already been on quite a journey. By the time she was 12 she was already doing bar gigs. Later she won a scholarship to study at the Brighton Institute of Music. After she made the leap to Nashville, USA to hone her craft even more. Back in the UK, she went on to support Colin Blunstone and play festivals like Willowman. Inspired by Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson and Elvis, she debuted with her self-titled album in 2016.

Getting ready to embark on a new musical journey, her new single pays tribute to all that came before. Mixing all kinds of exciting musical flavours into a delicious brew, this jam is spiced with Americana, blues, soul and rock. Rolling into the song with panache, it’s the invigorating rhythm, bright piano and full-bodied horns that forge the imposing melody. And with her commanding, blues-infused vocals adding a passionate layer, this towering tune is a grandiose sounding groove.
