Los Angeles – After selling out their LA show at The Lyric Theater in December, KING continue to make waves in the music scene having been recently named one of Boston Globe’s ’16 Artists To Look Forward To Hearing In 2016.’ The innovative LA trio made up of twins Paris and Amber Strother and musical sister Anita Bias create their unique sound by blending an array of genres and eras, and their dreamy, soulful aesthetic has been capturing the attention of music-lovers and the media alike.
KING announced the plans for their long-awaited debut album “We Are KING” on Thanksgiving 2015, and much to the delight of fans, have continued to roll out a series of campaign assets including the release of their 8-bit animated music video for first single “The Greatest”. Pre-album buzz has included Vulture, Pitchfork, Yahoo Music, The SOURCE, and Essence- and, as VIBE succinctly noted – “It’s official: The ladies are back”.
Through their debut EP they garnered critical acclaim with NPR stating, “Not only does KING establish itself squarely amongst 21st – Century soul electronica with stargazing synth chords; the LA based group also stands out from many other female combos by writing, producing, singing and handling nearly all of its songs’ instrumentation.” They received raves in Billboard, Village Voice, Glamour, The Sunday Times and Guardian to name just a few; and Brooklyn Vegan raves, “They’ve got a sound that simultaneously recalls classic soul and fits right in with the kind of psychedelic R&B that’s been a dominating force these past few years.”
