{"product_id":"king-corey-change-the-wind","title":"King, Corey - Change the Wind","description":"With 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. On \u003ci\u003eChange the Wind\u003c\/i\u003e, 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.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThemes 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. Without 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. Musically, \u003ci\u003eChange the Wind\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nContributions from close collaborators, including Spalding and trumpeter Takuya Kuroda, add depth without overwhelming the album’s cohesive feel.\nRather than spotlighting individual tracks, \u003ci\u003eChange the Wind\u003c\/i\u003e 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.","brand":"Western Vinyl","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":51329915355414,"sku":"RMX-68184","price":23.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":51329915388182,"sku":"RMX-68185","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7750\/2998\/files\/6a0d9e36bc23f99f9a1cdb42_ccf970cb-d9e6-4200-aafe-982a000ba698.jpg?v=1779286406","url":"https:\/\/resident-music-uk.myshopify.com\/products\/king-corey-change-the-wind","provider":"Resident Music UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
