Emily King – "Medal" (Weekly Music Roundup)

Emily King makes smart, catchy songs that blend soul, R&B and pop. Her new single, “Medal,” is pretty simple, really. King’s slinky vocals include lines like “I don’t need your name; I just want your walk, your talk, your pretty face.” But the melody in the chorus is sneakily catchy, and the funky bass and syncopated handclaps keep the song strutting along. Perhaps the most sophisticated thing about “Medal” is how defiantly unsophisticated it seems to be. Emily King’s new song called "Medal" is part of our Weekly Music Roundup.
