Great news! I was always fond of Sam Sparro's voice. It was just a shame he only had two really good songs on his first album. He sounded great on that Basement Jaxx single.

Nice! (Was hoping for a surprise album, but I recognize their release rate.)

i know we haven't even heard it yet, but. . . meh.
i woke up to a bandcamp notification this morning that they had released a "new album" only to discover it was not an album and not even a new original song. i'm sure it'll be fine for what it is but the lack of new material since anita left is. . . discouraging for the future.

the wow grumpos; that's actually the name of my new folk rock project.
album coming sometime, not sure when, but definitely before king releases another full length.

their cover of “Space Oddity” is now on Spotifybtw shouldn’t the thread title be changed to “We Are KING”, “We Are KING (formerly known as KING)” or “KING (We Are KING)” or sth similar? that new band name is here to stay

Not crazy about it, or cover songs in general, but the production on this gets me excited for upcoming originals.

they showed up to perform with coldplay on their glastonbury stream today??? heavily featured on a new song "human heart"

it's weird because they sound so good and then chris martin singing lead over them is ... not so good

https://watch.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk/livestream-1/backup/livestream1.html you can find the performance here at least for now if you go back a few hours. it's just one song in the middle of coldplay's set

As noted upthread in Jan., they're gonna be on this Bowie trib, out 5/28 on the BBE label (keep an eye on their bandcamp):Featuring an array of additional artists such as We Are KING, Meshell Ndegeocello, Khruangbin, Matthew Tavares, L’Rain, Nia Andrews and more, Modern Love seeks to champion Bowie’s lesser known connection to soul, R&B, jazz, funk, and gospel, musical genres traditionally pioneered by artists of color. The prominent jazz influences throughout his final album, Blackstar, were a key inspiration for curating this collection of reimagined Bowie songs with these artists. The resulting album is an eclectic tribute featuring a group of artists who not only fit together creatively, but who, like Bowie, straddle different worlds musically, with soul and jazz at their core.*already streamable, here and there:Modern Love Tracklist:01. Miguel Atwood-Ferguson - "Life On Mars"02. Healdo Negro - "Sound & Vision"*03. Kit Sebastian - "Lady Grinning Soul "04. Jeff Parker and The New Breed (feat. Ruby Parker) - "Soul Love"*05. Sessa - "Panic In Detroit"06. The Hics - "The Man Who Sold The World"*07. Khruangbin - "Right"08. Nia Andrews - "Silly Boy Blue"09. Foxtrott - "Chant Of The Ever Circling Skeletal Family"10. L'Rain - "Move On"11. Jonah Mutono - "Modern Love"*12. Bullion - "Where Are We Now"13. Eddie Chacon & John Carroll Kirby - "TNGHT"14. Léa Sen - "Golden Years"15. Meshell Ndegeocello - "Fantastic Voyage"16. We Are KING - "Space Oddity"*17. Matthew Tavares - "Heroes"

^ so great, and his song with Kadhja Bonet is even better (guess it was on last year's album but there's a new, more Sade-fied version that's amazing)
