Music News - Emma G releases outstanding new single 'King For A Day'
24 June 2017 - 0 Comments
The second studio single from powerful new talent: Emma G, King for a Day is an unapologetic – yet sentimental - serving of piano infused pop rock about infatuation, manipulation, and love turned sour.
Recorded by Baltimore-based producer Flight Boy Music, King for a Day combines singer-songwriter Emma G's soulful rock vocals with a pop track featuring Emma G’s third instrument: piano.
It’s a toe-tapping, sing-a-long that is all at once uncompromising and in-your-face, yet radio-friendly as listeners are taken you on an aural journey of pop, soul and rhythm.
"How I’d love to take you and make you king for a day / but I’d break you anyway / Though I try to convince you that I’m your queen, but you’re my prey / I’d break you anyway / I didn’t mean to lie to ya…” Emma sentimentally warns of the dangers of moths to flame. Yet you will surly want to be king; even if only for a day… every time you hit repeat time and again on this track.
There’s not lying about it: this song is fire.

"Life is an adventure. The best adventures have unknown outcomes."
