FEATURING ACOUSTIC VERSIONS OF “REMIND ME” + COVER OF THE BEATLES “HELP”

(Toronto, ON – July 22, 2020) – Today Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Emily King releases her Spotify Singles – a special acoustic version of her 2019 single “Remind Me” and a gorgeous reimagining of the Beatles‘ “Help.” “Help” was recorded at Los Angeles’ East West Studios and features keyboard virtuoso Cory Henry (Snarky Puppy) and two vocalists from Brittany Howard’s live band, Shanay Johnson and Karita Law.

“I’ve always loved this song… like so many Beatles songs it speaks the truth in so few words,” says King. “It felt so natural to adapt the song to the style of music I play. One of my all-time favorite artists is the great Aretha Franklin. I remember thinking, how would Aretha do this? She was a big influence.” Asked what she’d like fans to take from her rendition of the track, King says, “A feeling. Just to feel something strongly. To know help is on the way.”

Driving more than three billion streams since the program began in 2017, Spotify Singles was created to give artists an opportunity to record new versions of their own songs, and the songs of the artists they love. The Singles scope includes a unique version of each artist’s own song (Side A) and a cover song of their choosing (Side B). To date, there have been over 300 Singles recorded as part of the program.

She performed at this year’s Grammys’ MusiCares tribute to Aerosmith alongside John Legend, Foo Fighters, Gary Clark Jr., John Mayer, and more. Scenery was praised for its “starry-eyed earnestness of acoustically arranged versions” by NPR Music, while Pitchfork called it “sleek, vibrant R&B… the perfect frame for her extraordinary voice.” After its release, Emily made high-profile TV appearances on Jimmy Kimmel Live !and CBS This Morning, performed at Coachella and Lollapalooza, opened an arena tour with Sara Bareilles that included dates at Madison Square Garden and the Hollywood Bowl, and sold out a nationwide acoustic tour.

(Toronto, ON – October 3 -2018) – GRAMMY® nominated recording artist Emily King has unveiled eagerly anticipated new material in the form of new single “Remind Me”. The track was produced by long time musical cohort Jeremy Most, mixed by Tom Elmhirst (Adele, Amy Winehouse, David Bowie), and written by Emily herself. Recorded in upstate New York, “Remind Me” is the first taste from her long awaited new album, due for release on ATO Records in early 2019. A handful of tour dates for November, including The Apollo Theater in Harlem and the El Rey in Los Angeles, have also been announced – full details below.

Posting the track earlier today NPR Music wrote that the track is “an irresistible piece of anthemic R&B that captures the retro-cinematic quality of that first drive and the breathless feeling of greeting something new,” while Emily says of the song, “”There was a moment where I became lost in my own little world. I felt everyday was the same. I could see myself doing the same things and thinking the same thoughts. I was confused and afraid to try. Then one day something made me change. I left where I was. And all these feelings returned. I felt an excitement in my bones. A joy in my heart. I was reminded.”
