Free Music Notes for East Side Story
Free Music Review: A great yet overlooked album by Emily King
Hit: 5 Stars
Emily King's debut album "East Side Story" is about her life as a native New Yorker. She's often compared to her labelmate Alicia Keys being that they are both bi-racial soul singers. Considering her songwriting abilities, she's more along the lines of another bi-racial singer Alana Davis- that is, if Alana did an R&B album. Her debut was produced by Chucky Thompson, whose best known for being behind the boards on Mary J. Blige's "My Life", Faith Evans' "Faith" and Frankie's "My Heart Belongs To You".
Lyrically, she's interested in telling a story mostly from a real life perspective, as evidenced on "Colorblind" in which she sings about growing up as the mixed heritage offspring of two musicians. She consoles a victim of domestic violence in the song "You Can Get By". On the song "Business Man", she takes a heartless drug dealer to task for destroying the community and the people in it. She even takes on the Bill Withers classic "Ain't No Sunshine" and does a wonderful job with it. As great as this album is, it went unnoticed by the public. If you like music with great storytelling, then "East Side Story" is the album for you.
