{"product_id":"change-the-wind","title":"Change the Wind","description":"\u003cp\u003eWith 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 \u003cem\u003eChange the Wind,\u003c\/em\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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThemes 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, Change the Wind 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContributions from close collaborators, including Spalding and trumpeter Takuya Kuroda, add depth without overwhelming the album’s cohesive feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRather than spotlighting individual tracks, \u003cem\u003eChange the Wind \u003c\/em\u003ereveals 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Western Vinyl","offers":[{"title":"LP - Black","offer_id":57378702295371,"sku":"R3429-5861","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":57378702328139,"sku":"R3429-6589","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/CoreyKing-ChangetheWind.jpg?v=1779200341","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/change-the-wind","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
