King - We are King - 2016
If you're old enough or checked backwards in time you know that there was a time in the 90s where a genre called RnB was popular. When there were clearer distinctions between R&B, Pop and Rap.
There was artists such as Jodeci, SWV or Sade and Janet Jackson. The music was more lighter and more sensuous. Today it is labeled as Neo-Soul I think.
This is the debut album of the girls trio KING. Their debut EP in 2011 everyone was talking about. Praised by Prince and Questlove from the Roots. Sampled by Kendrick Lamar for his Section 80 record.
Future was bright for King. It took some time but in 2016 now we get the debut album. This record is not going forward. It's a moody record where the vocals are a little bit in the back. It's light listen, modern, dreamy.
It reminds me of a time where things seems to be easier. It will grow on you thats for sure.
CD released back in February, now in July we get the Vinyl. Go to their Bandcamp and bless yourself with the luscious double colored LP for 30 USD. Order will ship on July 18th.
