Emily Wells New EP, Party

Emily Wells is Notorious B.I.G. meets a violin. Last year she released The Symphonies: Dreams Memories & Parties, which NPR fell all over themselves for. With good cause - she's a mesmerizing live act to watch. A glittery and soaring voice, a smokey violin and one of those awesome loop machines for Andrew Bird-esque harmonies.

Next week in Los Angeles, Wells is having a party for her new EP, Dirty (explicit like Notorious), at the Hotel Cafe, June 19th. There's not too much new about the EP, it has a few new versions of old songs, but there is one remarkably good track: Take it Easy San Francisco. You wouldn't know it from the album, but it's just her and a Ukulele - and the echo of an island that's not there.

Watch the video, and melt a little as the song transitions into the final minute - a disturbingly addicting harmony of "Don't stop talking to me"
