Halona King – Overgrown Hearts

We’re not sure from where Halona King came from… but we’re glad it was somewhere. If you get weak in the knees like us when you hear soul music wrenched from contemporary soundscapes ala Adele, Alabama Shakes, Sade, Little Dragon, Cold War Kids, etc. then this deserves your attention (yeah we know that’s a crazy mix but trust us!). Halona King’s self-titled debut (we’re assuming) EP dropped as a free download this week. This couldn’t find the pocket any better.
