I was introduced to these ladies through Robert Glasper on his Black Radio album (their collaboration is out now, in case you're wondering how I got that before the album came out!).
I didn't pay them much attention, but I will say that track, Move Love, got me interested into Robert Glasper and his trio and the Robert Glasper Experiment as well. I never paid attention to the lovely voices on the track, but today I found out who those voices belonged to as I flipped through a free preview of Black Radio on NPR.
Long story short, I (re)discovered KING, found out they are *brand new* group and stumbled upon their EP via soundcloud.
One song later, I had a gut feeling that I had to add this group into my collection.
After viewing their soundcloud showcase, I was right...and I quickly bought their EP, at a low $3, even for 3 songs, considering the creative and inspirational value - this price is a steal!
I'm glad to finally discover the identity of these three ladies who led me to discover not one but many talented artists through their voices (and the production by them work is just as great!).
It's good to see them being shared in the public, the popular crowd (or at least semi-underground if you will) where other people who I personally cannot see as artists somehow attract a massive fanbase with quick, put-together tracks with little substance.
Enjoy this EP and join the line who are waiting to see what the future holds in store for the group with a fitting name, KING.
EDIT: It's been a while since I made this review and I STILL play these 3 tracks over and over. I noticed I gave these women 4 stars, and for those who wonder why, it's probably because I want more tracks!
