Today’s selections is a jazzy rendition of the The Temptations’ classic My Girl, performed by up-and-coming artist Emmaline.
At only 23, Emmaline will strike you as an “old soul” kind of artist. Her dad was a jazz pianist, and she grew up idolizing the likes of Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald and Chet Baker. She got a full ride to University of Cincinnati (College Conservatory of Music) to study violin performance, and while there, Emmaline decided to pursue jazz and focus her path on singing/songwriting. Emmaline stays true to her roots with her 1950’s vintage look and smoky, soulful vocals on this cover.
