New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Today, New York City native and Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Emily King releases a live performance video of her hit single "Medal."You can watch it @Top40-Charts.com! The joyful, upbeat anthem, on which "King delivers a show stopping vocal performance" (Wonderland) is one of 11 dynamic tracks on King's recently released and critically acclaimed album, Special Occasion. NPR highlighted the album in a recent All Songs Considered episode, KCRW included it in their Top Albums of the Weekchart (May 1-7), and OkayPlayer spotlit the record in their Best New Albumscolumn.
Special Occasion is the follow-up to King's critically-acclaimed Scenery LP and is her first album in four years. The album's title track highlights King's songwriting prowess and her ability to dig into life's deepest sorrows and uncover unexpected beauty, shifting her focus on the little things that make life fun and worth celebrating. She recently performed "
Special Occasion" on Live with
Kelly and Mark.
King also performed the single during a vibrant COLORS x STUDIOS session, which was recorded earlier this year in Berlin. She also recently sat down with Anthony
Mason for an incredibly moving conversation about the album on CBS Morning.
King is currently on a headlining tour, playing to sold out crowds across the country. King has a full set of shows coming up this week, with performances at The Fillmore in San Francisco (tonight) and Los Angeles's The Wiltern (Saturday) and, next week, she'll make her debut at Nashville's famed Ryman Auditorium.
