Emily King - The Switch

Yep. Some of these songs remind me a lot of Under the Cherry Moon/Parade era Prince in particular.

My friend just sent me Believer from this album so I checked out the rest of it. This is a really gorgeous record. I'm surprised how little discussion there is about her considering how popular KING are on here.

this record rules

Indeed. I just listened to it again for the first time in a few months. So good!

I don't remember it placing in the top 77 albums list for last year. Did it make it lower down on the list? I would have definitely voted for it if I'd heard it.

I could give you a definitive answer if search was working worth a damn right now, but I'm pretty sure I nominated it.

I just found it. It came in at 772 with just the one vote (14 points). Is there any way we can claim 2016 was her year of impact and give it another chance?

It ranked #772 with one vote (14 points).

It did get reissued as a "deluxe" version this year, so whoever wants to nominate is welcome to.

I'll go for it. I'll have to do some proper campaigning and everything. It seems like the kind of record people would love.

i still listen to this a lot. sent it to my sis and she loves it too

this record was a slight letdown for me but only because the Seven EP is some of my favorite music by anyone ever, still, The Switch is very good.

very nice live rendering of "Distance" here:

The second half of "Off Center" is really doing it for me right now.

Finally a new song!

Only just found out she has a new album out next week. Just catching up on the singles and everything is sounding so good. Really hyped for this.

Yeah, the latest one, "Can't Hold Me," is super good. Looking forward to this.

Whoa thanks

Ah, this album is so gorgeous. I really needed this today.

Totally in love with her new album. It makes a nice companion to the recent Natalie Prass one.

Love how much she's channeling Prince on the last few songs.

Yeah, the end is the strongest portion.

new album is blowing my mind

forgiveness >>>

I know it's still early days, but this is quite comfortably my favourite album of the year so far.

She's the guest on Switched on Pop this week: https://www.switchedonpop.com/lost-found-the-drama-of-pop-form-with-emily-king/

First time I heard her, seemed good, kind of a Prince thing at end: https://www.google.com/search?q=Emily+King+Late+Night+With+Seth+Meyers&oq=Emily+King+Late+Night+With+Seth+Meyers&aqs=chrome..69i57.19671j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

record even better now that it feels like spring outside

I haven't watched her Coachella performance yet, but I hear it's dope.

"2nd guess" song of the year, i cry every time

when that one explodes at the end >>

Oh god yeah, that is a stunning moment. My current favourite is Running. The vulnerability in her voice when she gets to the chorus, especially towards the end is incredible.

This whole album is an absolute triumph and I really hope more people come round to it over the year.

Hi I love this album.

YES

So, Scenery is fucking incredible.

I don't really have much more to add.

I just needed to tell somebody.

whoa rad

She has an EP out with that Machinedrum remix Brad posted plus remixes of four other tracks.

No news, just psyched I got a copy of 'The Switch' on LP. They go for crazy prices, but I lucked out and won it on ebay for the starting big (which is probably around what it would've cost new in 2015).

Her new record Special Occasion is just as lovely as the last two, although perhaps lacks a knockout song for me à la "Can't Hold Me" (the Machinedrum remix of this is personally an all timer) or "Off Center".

I gave it a cursory spin, but nothing stood out. Will revisit on a calm day.

i love the title track, medal is super fun. but easy is the one i really love, very sweet sad song.
