{"product_id":"corey-king-change-the-wind","title":"Corey King 'Change the Wind'","description":"\u003cp\u003eWith a 2021 GRAMMY win for his work alongside Esperanza Spalding, composer, vocalist, and multi-instrumentalist Corey King has quietly become one of contemporary music’s most versatile voices. His career spans collaborations with artists as varied as Milton Nascimento, Gil Scott-Heron, Bonobo, DJ Premier, and Iggy Pop, shaping a sound that moves fluidly between jazz, soul, experimental songwriting, and cinematic composition. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn Change the Wind, King brings that range into a focused, deeply personal statement. Written across years of upheaval and transition, the album balances intimacy with scope, moving between quiet reflection and expansive, full-band arrangements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThemes of resilience, clarity, and emotional recalibration run throughout, giving the record a sense of cohesion that feels lived-in rather than conceptual. At its core is a profound sense of devotion and vulnerability, most clearly felt in “R.M.K,” a luminous piece inspired by the birth of King’s daughter. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWithout lingering on narrative detail, the song anchors the album emotionally, setting the tone for a body of work concerned with care, responsibility, and the fragility of connection. Elsewhere, King explores love, doubt, and personal growth with a light but steady touch, favoring mood and movement over explicit storytelling.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMusically, Change the Wind is rich without being dense. Warm piano, layered vocals, and chamber-like brass arrangements are threaded through with broken-beat rhythms and subtle electronic textures. At times the record leans into groove and propulsion, with Afrobeat-informed passages and dynamic horn sections, while elsewhere it pulls back into sparse, intimate spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContributions from close collaborators, including Spalding and trumpeter Takuya Kuroda, add depth without overwhelming the album’s cohesive feel. \u003cbr\u003eRather than spotlighting individual tracks, Change the Wind reveals itself as a complete listening experience, one that unfolds gradually and rewards attention over time. It is a record about steady transformation, about finding clarity within motion, and about holding onto something human in the midst of constant change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklisting:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.
