So many artists reach for the low-hanging fruit when songwriting: love, heartbreak, hurt, and sex. What makes Grammy-nominated singer Emily King stand out from the rest is her unique ability to capture the "in-betweens" of those emotions- the melancholy of a long-distance relationship, the jolt of energy that comes from meeting a new person, the trust between "good friends."
I bought my tickets to see King live in San Fransisco before I'd even secured housing in the area, and have dedicated this week's In the Garden to sharing my favorites from her discography. Enjoy!
