Limited edition, white vinyl + 36-page booklet.
‘King of a Land’ is a profound and moving self-portrait of one of pop music's most enduring and popular songwriters. Unique and captivating, Yusuf's new music, lyrics and melodies paint a vivid picture of a world where childhood dreams are once again within reach. His poetic storytelling invites the listener on a journey to the gates of an alternative universe - where happy endings do exist. From the wonderfully unexpected hard rock intensity of ‘Pagan Run’ to the Tchaikovsky-inspired orchestration of ‘How Good It Feels’, the tender acoustic balladry of ‘He Is True’ to the driving Phil Spector gospel vibe of ‘Highness’, the rolling Americana groove in the style of the Traveling Wilburys of ‘All Nights, All Days’ and the artful, atmospheric ‘Son Of Mary’, ‘King of a Land’ is an epic work. The album artwork was created by Peter H. Reynolds, the award-winning children's book illustrator. In addition to the cover, Peter has created illustrations for each song based on the album's lyrical themes, which are included in the 36-page vinyl booklet.
