Album description

On their third full-length album, genre bending duo Hungry Lucy prove to us, yet again, that the confines of one musical style just won't contain them. "To Kill a King" seamlessly traverses the musical spectrum from somber darkwave to catchy pop without missing a beat.

Fans of Hungry Lucy's first two releases, "Apparitions" and "Glo", will not be disappointed with this fresh batch of inspired electro-organic productions crowned with Christa Belle's haunting voice.

While not purely a concept album, a common story runs throughout "To Kill a King" as Christa Belle's deeply personal lyrics lead you through a tale of oppression, grief and ultimate triumph.

The title track, "To Kill a King" couples a driving Depeche Mode styled production with emotional female vocals. While "Rainfall" evokes the electrified songwriter feel of Dido or even Madonna in her more contemplative moments. The uplifting vibe of "Shine" pulls together elements from around the globe with a soaring vocal melody. The melancholy "Good Girl" is a stripped down piano & vocal wonder that tugs hard at your emotions, while the pure synthetic "High Price of Mistakes" manages to sound icy cold, yet emit a warm glow all at once.

It's this type of beautiful contrast that Hungry Lucy are passionate about, and fully demonstrate on "To Kill a King". Their talent for blending the familiar with the exotic captures you at first listen and leaves you wanting more.

The ladies vocals on this album are sultry, soothing, yet comforting, warm and heartfelt, beautiful, on my heart and mind, as she sings. I feel compelled to listen to her melodic-al tones, delight and give me pleasure as she sings. The music was fitting and wrapped around her sweet, really nice voice.. Good girl, made me want to cry, as she sang this so perfect, so composed and just so right. I felt the emotions run across my heart, as the words she sang, drift straight to my heart.. This Lady oozes beauty from within that comes straight out across the music as you just sit back and simply listen to her sing.. Heavenly, mesmerising-ly, awesome music and vocals, wrapped neatly inside a flawless album.. Thank you for your voice and music..

This is just amazing. Beautiful. I can't wait to listen to it over an over on my iPod!

Clear vocals with a lovely, lovely voice. The songs really evoke a mood. Perfect as I sit here on a rainy fall night.

One of the best albums I have heard yet on Jamendo.

I love this album. I have been listening to it over and over for the last couple of days. I just love this band. Definitely one of the best if not the best on Jamendo IMO. Thanks Hungry Lucy for such a great album.

I close eyes, and I'm not on Jamendo. Even if we re-know of multiple and very pleasant influences, the emotion which gets free of the music, the voice and the words is strong in personnality.
"Can you hear me" with a male invitation and a good rhythm is my favourite.
I love all the mix.
This work has to envy nothing to the biggest professionals...
I listened to the other albums with a great pleasure.
Thank you for continuing so...

Simply superb. Strong vocals, sounds and composition. All tracks have a character of their own but they still fit seamlessly together. Can't wait to listen to your other albums!

Keep up the excellent work!
