"Brooklyn-based duo Emily Easterly and J Seger have teamed up to release their double a-side record ‘Please, Please Say Goodnight / City Love Is Strange’.

For Easterly’s part ‘Please, Please Say Goodnight’ is a triumphant continuation of her recent, and finest, work to date. Encompassing the, now unmistakable, pulsating bass line so many of records possess, Easterly’s striking vocal fluctuates from the soft, brooding opening of the track to the urgent and powerful climax. The brief ten-second guitar work mid-way through pays playful homage to her Beatles influence as the song builds to a rousing finale with Easterly imploring to the song’s main target to concede to the inevitable. This Virginian songstress’ rapid rise continues abound.

‘City Love Is Strange’, Seger’s offering on the record’s flip-side, is saturated in the kind of folk-blues tradition that is fast becoming synonymous with his work - despite his novice recording career. Seger writes songs with the maturity of an artist two lifetimes’ his senior and, but a mere window into his upcoming sophomore LP, ‘City Love Is Strange’ sparks an intrigue within all great music enthusiasts. Timeless in its simplicity, an almost apologetic drum beat maintains a soft, smouldering aura throughout as Seger’s delightfully imperfect vocal steers the song to an unheralded fade-out." - Joel Crane (Q, Mojo, NME, Rebel Spirit)
