Music News - Kings Announces forthcoming new album 'Chapter One'
25 July 2017 - 0 Comments
New Zealand recording artist Kings announces today his forthcoming debut album, Chapter One, set for independent release later in the year. Entirely self-produced by Kingdon Chapple-Wilson, the 12-track album will be released by Kings himself through a new partnership with local digital music distributors DRM NZ.
With lead single We'll Never Know scheduled to drop early September, the Kiwi hitmaker returns in fine form with a varied album showcasing an impressive range of styles and wide skillset as a producer, songwriter, lyricist and performer.
Best known for runaway chart-topping hit Don't Worry 'Bout It, which has now surpassed 6 million streams and recently received a Silver Scroll award nomination, Kings has carved out a unique path as a multi-talented artist covering a diverse range of genres.
Regarding the album construction and forging a new path without a
major record label involved, Kingdon comments:
"Working closely with Warner Music NZ was
such a great experience for my first project, we were able to break a New
Zealand record, which was an amazing achievement and one we couldn't have
done without them."
"I've always
encouraged artists and musicians to do things themselves and to study the game
thoroughly. It was only right that I do this entire project the way I preach.
From directing the music videos to designing the cover art, everything is
written, produced, mixed, and mastered the way I intended, with the hope that
it encourages YOU to do the same thing."
DRM NZ are well known advocates for helping local New Zealand artists release
their music globally. For just over a decade, the company has worked with a
great host of independent kiwi artists in getting their music on digital
platforms such as Spotify, Apple Music, iTunes, Google Play, Pandora and more.
On the new partnership with Kingdon and his team, DRM NZ General Manager Andy Low states:
"This is a thrilling release for us, and we're very excited to work with one of New Zealand’s great talents of today. Kings has come up with a fantastic debut album, DRM looks forward to rolling out the new KINGS material far and wide."
