Emily King – Good Friend
“But soon as I get weary/Soon as I close my eyes/You are there to lift the burden from my mind,” she sings, before chanting the catchy chorus. She isn’t lying about having good friends either, as she has recently linked up with the famed engineer now known as one of the driving forces behind D’Angelo’s Black Messiah album, Ben Kane. Kane is already singing the praises of King and her forthcoming album, so you know it will be something that you don’t want to miss out on.
