Boldly anthemic rock of fully-loaded production and power – Kings of Men intertwine organic musical craftsmanship with cutting-edge AI technology, for the uniquely immersive sound and style of their breakthrough single Northstar.
Impressively catchy and intoxicating from the outset, Northstar has a distinctly genre-blending sound thanks to its intricate approach to walking the line between the electronic and human realms.
The idea was to push the boundaries as a creative act, and the single more than meets the needs of that – showcasing both a thoughtful and poetic subject matter, and a keen meeting between passion and precision at the helm.
Ultimately a catchy pop-rock sound but with notable distortion and euphoric synth-like fullness all incorporated, Northstar is unignorably memorable and energising as it rains down. The song is built around a slick guitar riff, but also features an artistic soundscape surrounding that, and a gritty but mildly electrified vocal lead; which again achieves an interesting balance between heart and programming.
In their own words, the music of Kings of Men offers huge anthems with a futuristic twist, and that feels decidedly apt on listening to Northstar at volume. The future is happening now, and the music speaks volumes on behalf of that. It will be interesting to hear the ideas, melodies, and moods that emerge with each incoming release from Kings of Men. Watch this space.
