Ears Wide Open: Emily Gold

1

Emily Gold‘s “Running Back To You” explores a well-worn theme for romantic singer-songwriters, but that shouldn’t deter a listener from enjoying the arching folk melodies she writes to accompany her dulcet vocals. Her talents also prove that the apple doesn’t fall from the tree. Gold comes from impressive lineage including: her late father Andrew Gold (who wrote the pop hit that would later become the famous “Golden Girls” theme song), her grandmother Marnie Nixon (who was coined as the voice of Hollywood for providing the singing voice for Natalie Wood in “West Side Story,” Aubrey Hepburn in “My Fair Lady” and more) and her grandfather Ernest Gold (who won several awards for his composition for film). It won’t take long for Gold to also make a name for herself. With songs like the lilting title track of her debut EP and the pensive “In the Air,” “Wrap You Up In Dreams” is a wonderfully nostalgic listen.
