Yusuf/Cat Stevens - King Of A Land

 

180-gram vinyl

Yusuf / Cat Stevens' 17th studio album

King of a Land explores a world where childlike dreams do come true

King of a Land is a deeply meaningful and moving self-portrait by one of popular music's most enduring and beloved songwriters. More than a decade in the making, its 12 new songs are full of extraordinary surprises.

Unique and transportive, Yusuf's new music, words and melodies paint a vivid picture of a world where childlike dreams are brought back 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 do happen.

"Looking at the jagged journey of my music, beginning as I did in the '60s, I would say this new record is a mosaic. A very clearly defined description of where I've been and who I am." — Yusuf / Cat Stevens

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.
