Limited white colored vinyl LP pressing. King of a Land is an epic body of work. More than a decade in the making, it,s 12 new songs are full of extraordinary surprises. Unique and transportive, Yusuf,s music, words and melodies paint a vivid picture of a world which embraces the lost lands of truisms and stainless youth, and brings it into touching distance. His poetical storytelling invites the listener on a journey towards the gates of an alternative universe to that which we presently inhabit - where happy endings can possibly happen. From the gloriously unexpected hard-rock intensity of ,Pagan Run, to the Tchaikovsky-inspired orchestration on ,How Good It Feels,, the delicate acoustic balladry of ,He Is True, through to the driving Phil Spector-goes-gospel vibe of ,Highness,, the Travelling Wilburys-styled rolling Americana groove of ,All Nights, All Days,, and the ornate, atmospheric ,Son Of Mary,, ,King of a Land, is an epic body of work.
