Lion O. King – A King Amongst Kings
With his unmistakeably contemporary and shamelessly nostalgic mix of electronic Berlin beats and dirty Pop melodies, Lion O. King delivers his wild and unconventional 4th album…
„King Amongst Kings“.
Born in Ethiopia, raised in New York, Naples and Addis Ababa, and cutting his teeth at festivals such as SXSW, Hurricane and Rock am Ring, Lion O. King is an oddball citizen of the World with a sound as scruffy and sleek as his big-city cowboy mustache.
On „King Amongst Kings“ the self-made man Lion O. King conveys the struggles of gaining and losing power, striving for realization and pushing yourself to the limit.
“I’m an insult to their eyes, I’m everything there is to despise”, sings King on “Dream”, and yet in the same breath encourages: “Dream, Martha May, don’t care what they say. Dream of the day you’re gonna go all the way.”
„King Amongst Kings“ is an infectious call for self-reflection and belief, inviting us to explore the ambiguities and contradictions his swagger and bravado entail while exposing the great vulnerability it takes to „…become a King Amongst Kings“.
