Emily King’s Tiny Desk concert feels like “a rose petal hug” thanks to her silky voice and a band full of multi-instrumentalists who pitch in dreamy harmonies on gut-wrenching breakup anthems like “Georgia” and “Down.” Between songs, her barely-contained excitement and playful banter underline years of creative chemistry with collaborator Jeremy Most.
King wrote many of these tunes to pick herself up when she’s down, and she leans into “main character mode” on the empowering “This Year” before reminding us that every “Special Occasion” is best with company. The intimate five-song set – Distance, Georgia, Down, This Year and Special Occasion – is a warm reminder of why Emily King’s records sound even better live.
