Emily King built her reputation in New York's soul underground before wider audiences caught up, and her arc from early releases to her GRAMMY-nominated work reflects an artist who has always moved at her own pace. Special Occasion continues that deliberate evolution, arriving as a deeply personal document rooted in the kind of emotional honesty that resonates just as strongly in headphones as it does in an intimate live room.
Emily King has a near-magical gift for digging into life's deepest sorrows and uncovering unexpected beauty and illuminating truth. The NYC-bred artist brings ever-evolving levels of depth and nuance to her songwriting, rooting each revelation into a mesmerizing blend of soul, R&B and forward-thinking pop. Special Occasion - the follow-up to the multiple GRAMMY-nominated Scenery (2019) - is an intimate look at the ways we love, grieve, and stumble toward a greater sense of self-understanding.
