By Blurt Staff
Soul vet Lee Fields & The Expressions will release new album Emma Jean next Tuesday, June 3 on Truth & Soul Records and the latest video from the album for “Just Can’t Win” was just released today. Directed by Raj Debah, the video features Fields as a boxing coach guiding Boardwalk Empire’s Margot Bingham to victory. It was shot throughout New York City including the Coney Island Boardwalk, Fight Factory in Brooklyn and Jimmy’s Corner in Times Square.
Emma Jean is the follow up to Fields’ widely praised first two Truth & Soul albums—2009’s My World and 2012’s Faithful Man. His band will be touring extensively behind the record—check dates, below.
