Love for Eva Rose King’s Music

 “A classically trained viola player, King writes with an easy sophistication. The sunlit, peaceful vibes of "Seabirds" feel a million miles removed from the lounge jazz of "Like You." Neither shares the dark, Appalachian-gothic folk tone of "Point and Shoot." The DNA of King's persona is equal parts singer-songwriter and mysterious chanteuse.

It's hard to pinpoint the album's zenith, but the title track might be it. "On the Other Side" has that perfect mix of pain and strength that underpins the music of artists such as Mitski and Angel Olsen.”

- Chris Farnsworth of Seven Days Vermont

  • Seven Days Vermont on On the Other Side (album)

    “King's lyrics are full of regret, but it's the power of her voice to evoke emotion that gives the song authenticity. There's a depth to her delivery, a sense of power held tightly in check. Her intensity filters through a melodic, many-colored prism until it presents itself to the listener as a complex and fully formed story. On the Other Side is a long, slow burn that stays alight for 12 tracks of unrequited love, naked confessions and resilience in the face of heartache.”

  • Lefuturewave on "Pressure of You"

    “[Pressure of You’s] instrumentation is organic, mellow, and gracefully constructed. Although the rhythm doesn’t change much, it remains captivating the whole time. King sets an iconic performance that will be cherished forever.”

  • Ear to the Ground Music on "Seabirds"

    “The maturity and clarity of this recording captured my heart right away. There’s a subtle sweetness to the rhythm section that provides an excellent base for King’s exceptional vocal style. The overall composition comes together for something that feels both old fashioned and freshly inviting.”

  • Rock 'n' Bold on "Testify"

    [Translated from Portuguese] “American singer Eva Rose King combines elements of pop and folk to create the sophisticated, sensitive, and relaxed sound of “Testify.” The song’s vocals and instrumentals, although simple individually, when brought together result in a complete, authentic, and quite intense sound.”

  • Vinyl Chapters on "Sunburn"

    “Taken from album On the Other Side the docile tones and warm melodies of Sunburn show off Eva Rose King’s penchant for settled folk flows and caressing build-ups. The way her vocals dance around the pleasant atmosphere is mesmerising and shows the singer-songwriter knows how to manipulate music to create a fruitful and enigmatic sound.”

  • Alfitude on "Complex Feelings"

    “The first thing that stands when you play an Eva Rose King track is her distinctive vocal delivery, and new single ‘Complex Feelings’ showcases this beautifully. Serving as the perfect ‘end of summer’ song, this melodic piece of music takes listeners on a nostalgic journey that looks at how life makes us lose touch with our childhood friends.”
