Corey King Releases Third Album 'Change the Wind'
Grammy-winning musician Corey King has released his third album, 'Change the Wind,' drawing influence from James Blake. King co-produced Esperanza Spalding's 2021 album 'Songwrights Apothecary Lab,' which earned him a Grammy. The album reflects the contrasting years of pandemic isolation and constant touring, shaped by the music scenes of Berlin and Seattle. Musically, it blends soul and jazz with subtle electronic effects and muted brass. King's vocals remain background whispers, occasionally rising with hip-hop elements in 'Worms' or South American beats in 'The Damndest.' While not as groundbreaking as James Blake's 2011 debut, King delivers a solid and sophisticated work.
