Emily King

Special Occasion, the latest effort from singer-songwriter Emily King represents King’s first album in four years, following her multi-Grammy-nominated Scenery. Songs such as “This Year,” “False Start” and “Bad Memory” (featuring special guest Lukas Nelson), show off her sharp pop sensibilities. The percolating “Medal,” features bass, rhythmic hand claps, and gentle piano riffs. Expect to hear it alongside other new tracks from Special Occasion when King plays House of Blues tonight at 7.
