EL Mar has revealed “The Best One,” the second from her forthcoming EP Walking With Dogs, out June 15th. To celebrate the release of the EP, El Mar will perform at Berlin in New York City on June 20th.
El Mar is Miami-native, now NYC-based singer/songwriter/frontwoman Joey Primero, alongside a collective of NYC-based musicians (most of which attended Berklee College of Music). Walking With Dogs was written while Primero was, well, walking with dogs, after leaving a career in the music industry, where she had worked as a music publicist for over 5 years. Having worked with countless bands, including many notable ones at that, Primero still struggled to let go of the artist and songwriter in her that was longing to be heard. She missed performing and finally decided it was time to get back to what she came to New York to do. Walking With Dogs was recorded in two days in Brooklyn, and is candid – exploring love, loss, envy, and deep-rooted rage. The EP follows her 2015 debut EP The Road and 2017 debut album Try To Forget.
