Song Review: Em & The Fates Sing To A “Beautiful Life”
Em & The Fates is a Brooklyn-based septet whose rich three part harmonies and soul/pop arrangements hark back to an old school soundscape – glittering with nostalgia, yet anchored in lyrics evoking contemporary themes. There theme for their new “Beautiful Life” is exactly as titled. Loving life is blatantly cheesy, but what is so bad about that? Everyday people knockdown those that celebrate life’s beauty, but those same people complain they wish they could see it? If you are one of the “Negative Nancy’s”, then give yourself an opportunity to live like a “Positive Patty”. Em & The Fates are going for a cheesy adoration to life and its beauty by celebrating the gorgeousness of love. If you have someone that hugs you and tell you that you are worth it, for all your problems, you have hope. As lead singer Emily Kron croons with a voice that seems made to plush out show-tunes with its vibrancy and theatricality, you will unavoidably get a soft spot for life, or at least, their song “Beautiful Life”. Em & The Fates have provided song and video to watch when you need to remember one of the greatest things you will ever see is smile, and one of your best achievements is putting one on.
