Emily Zuzik
Emily Zuzik is a veteran of the New York City music scene, but you might also recognize her voice from Moby’s latest record – she collaborated on a track called The Low Hum – or from television and movies: her songs have appeared in Smallville, Ticking Clock, and Fifth Form.
L to R: Wes Hutchinson, Ryan Vaughn, Emily Zuzik and Brian Killeen.
She has just released her seventh record, The Wild Joys of Living, and I had the pleasure of attending her show at The Living Room – a venue as tiny and cozy as the name would suggest – this past Saturday night, where she played the record in its entirety. Ladies and gentlemen, it is delicious. The songs run the gamut from sweet pop morsels to fuzzier, more aggressive rock and roll. I was especially fond of Motels, which is about naughty things people do in motels, and also You’re The One, which is sweet but not treacle-y love song.
As a taste, I give you a video of her singing Want to Go Out Tonight?, which is the first single off of the new record:
Jennifer, thanks for the nice review! You can find out more on shows at http://www.listn.to/emilyzuzik, my facebook music page. Also, stay tuned for a video for Motels coming later this summer! e
I’ll definitely keep an eye out for the video, it sounded like it was fun to make!
