Marcus King has shared a new song 'One Day She's Here,' a fresh sounding slice of laid-back vintage soul. The new track, written by Marcus, Dan Auerbach and Pat McLaughlin, showcases Marcus' restrained falsetto with sultry strings and a deep pocket groove provided by among others, drummer Gene Chrisman, keyboardist Bobby Wood and bassist Dave Roe, legendary musicians who have graced classic recordings by the likes of Johnny Cash, Aretha Franklin and Elvis Presley.
'One Day She's Here' was premiered by FLOOD Magazine who stated, "the song packages Marcus' sensual falsetto with strings for a languorous soul vibe about a love who just won't stay."
Discussing the song with FLOOD Magazine, Marcus explained, "Dan and I wrote 'One Day She's Here' with Pat McLaughlin. This was a writing session I was a little bit late to and when I got there they had this bouncy chord progression. We kind of picked it up from there and started moving forward. A reoccurring theme throughout the record is old Cadillacs. And this idea of something you love fading away into the distance appealed to me as writer. Something that I think everybody can relate to is seeing something fade away like that."
'One Day She's Here' is featured on his genre-bending debut solo record, El Dorado, produced by Dan Auerbach at Easy Eye Sound in Nashville, and due Jan 17, 2020 on Snakefarm Records (UK). El Dorado is a contemporary exploration of southern R&B, country-soul, classic rock and blues, where subtle acoustics and pedal steel shine bright alongside raucous electric guitars and blistering solos. Marking a new sonic direction and with King's remarkable voice taking centre stage, El Dorado is set to further establish King as one of the most soulful voices of his generation.
