Emily King is the new threat. The girl is only 21 and her style is so mature. She’s like the young Jill Scott in training. Emily talks about racism, sexism, ignorance, and her life. HER NAME IS EMILY THE FEMALE KING. Emily is from NYC. Her life story is riding trains, playing on sidewalks, jumping rope, and singing with her family. King may be just 21 years old, but this girl is a throwback to another era. The music on her J Records debut, East Side Story, reveals roots that are deep and ambitions that are grand. “I think music is such a revolutionary thing, and that’s what it should be,” she says. In conversation, King’s words are packed with references to the wide range of great artists that inspired her - the Beatles and Nas, Sarah Vaughan and Radiohead, Michael Jackson and Neil Young. “Every record that I’ve ever heard has been an influence on me,” she says.
