Emily King - Walk In My Shoes

Who is this girl Emily King and why have I not heard about her before? This was the question I asked myself as soon as I heard the first two bars of Walk In My Shoes. With a sultry voice that isn’t enhanced by synthesizers (about time), this is a refreshing change amongst the mass of tracks floating around.

King’s vocals and style are reminiscent of Jill Scott and Angie Stone whereas her lyrics pose the social consciousness similar to India.Arie. A track that has smooth grooves laced with a funky beat, Walk In My Shoes is a fusion of neo-soul, RnB and hip hop. If you’re looking for something sexy, original and left of centre, King is your girl.
