About This Release:
Twins Paris and Amber Strother and musical sister Anita Bias are dream-pop trio KING. In 2011, KING independently released their debut EP to much acclaim- The Story, Supernatural, and Hey made up the 3-piece introduction to their carefully crafted sound. Fueled by word of mouth excitement and social media posts from supporters including Prince, Gilles Peterson, Erykah Badu, Solange, Nile Rodgers, Sam Sparro, Janelle Monae, Questlove and a host of others, their story and songs have spread wide and made new fans of many. Since the release of their initial EP, KING have been touring, performing as a headlining act to sold out crowds in Los Angeles, New York, Atlanta, Chicago, London, and Amsterdam amidst a host of other US cities.
KING's eclectic sound is relatable yet not simply defined. Though they play with the boundaries of their many influences, throughout each song is the common thread of a certain soulful authenticity. The smooth vibe, intricate production, and harmonic style of their music evolved beautifully in their home studio, a product solely of the three women and a result of their Minneapolis and Los Angeles roots.
Paris produces KING's songs, while Amber and Anita are the primary singers. The three work together on songwriting and arrangements to create their unique sound, garnering such accolades as NPR's Song of the Day and 10 Songs Public Radio Can't Stop Playing, Billboard's 10 Best R&B Songs of 2014, The Guardian's New Band of the Day and Best Albums of 2013, Metro UK's Singles of the Week, Glamour Magazine's 2013 Free Holiday Music Campaign, and the 55th GRAMMY Award for 'Move Love', their collaboration with Robert Glasper on his Best R&B Album 'Black Radio'. KING have completed their long-awaited debut album and are excited to invite listeners further into their sonic kingdom; listen to their conversation on NPR's All Things Considered about their music-making process for the upcoming record.

I have not been able to play this song on only one rotation since I first heard it a couple of years ago.

[@yvetteholmes7107]

I want to catch Redeye for Real!💕

[@yvetteholmes7107]

Love it.... Everytime i hear it... I just think about me being on an Jamaican Island chillin🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸

[@andrewread1603]

One of the most underrated albums. 'The greatest'

[@Lee_Plenty]

This track has a "I Can't Help It" vibe to it and it's intoxicating.

[@SolarMumuns]

Stevie Wonder wrote that tune - to me this sounds like his first few proper solo albums like Music of My Mind and Fulfillingness' First Finale

[@ch3rrikiss]

Seriously..... every one of their songs feels like I found the greatest treasure it's blowing my mind

[@tonysizemore3021]

This is such a beautiful description. I 100% concur. KING & Gwen Bunn have the dreamiest music EVER, u literally get transported to another alternate universe in ur mind. There will NEVER be another group like KING or their timeless sound and even in the year 3000, their music will still sound futuristic.

[@coreymontez6071]

Totally feel the same way and I'm years late

[@amahlemdwara2800]

This has to be the perfect way to describe their music❤️

This is a good song to smoke and relax to after a long day of work

King's chord progressions in every song, it's like Anita Baker spawned 3 daughters of futuristic Soul

[@b2thez305]

This Album is a timeless Masterpiece.

[@datdat2020]

Their sound reminds me of the gospel supergroup Commissioned during the mid 90s...Love it Paris!

[@kappalearninggroup8917]

You are so right!

[@DeanCurtis8014]

Man Commissioned was before there time. Great comparison Jason. I grew up to commissioned. You are right

[@jonathanwilson5723]

@@AyyeBC I think it's the (tight) harmonies that's being referred to more than a particular song, but I could be wrong. Regardless, both of their sounds are so righteous.

[@markwallace1677]

I love this song so much, although I have to admit that I sometimes joke around with the lyrics and change them from catch a red eye to catch a black eye lol 😉😊😇

[@songbird4212]

I love King and their unique work. Ladies please keep creating beautiful and unforgettable masterpieces of art. You all are extremely blessed and adept artists. I am a huge fan.
