Valerie June

Singer Valerie June’s career stretches back to the early 2000s when she performed with her then-husband Michael Joyner in the duo Bella Sun. She launched a solo career in 2006 and teamed up with Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys for 2013’s Pushin' Against a Stone. Now, the soulful singer finally appears to be getting the credit she deserves. "Two Hearts," the single from the forthcoming studio effort 'The Order Of Time, features a bit of ominous sounding Hammond organ that gives the tune a stark beauty. June has described the album as a “meditation on mortality and family,” and its songs certainly carry a real weight to them. (Niesel)
