King take R&B girl group vocals in a different direction: this is no singing + backing band afterthought.
We Are King goes whole-sound, weaving a lush, lightly funky, wavering electronic forest that the ladies' voices slither though as equals, harmonized, modified, gone ethereal and back, sneaking in the gaps in the mix. The sound's rich and balanced, filled with sidequests and mysteries. Normally this isn't really my scene, but the whole album's so sneakily original - I've never heard anything quite like it, and goddamn if you don't get points for that around here 4/5
