Junior

Espionage, particularly the idea of living a double life, was the basis for Kaki KingÂ’s brand-new, stunning album Junior. And like a tantalizing spy novel thatÂ’s full of surprises, Junior delivers twists-and-turns: lyrically from exuberance and anger to heartbreaking melancholy; and sonically from experimental pieces to accessible pop. While there is some of the dazzling musicianship King has been renowned for, Junior showcases her further maturation as a well-rounded artist that defies categorization and expectations. Clearly Junior marks a new musical chapter for the artist, something that is hinted at with its rather modest-sounding title.
