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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOn Change the Wind, 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. Themes of resilience, clarity, and emotional recalibration run throughout, giving the record a sense of cohesion that feels lived-in rather than conceptual.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAt 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 person al growth with a light but steady touch, favoring mood and movement over explicit storytelling.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMusically, 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. Contributions from close collaborators, including Spalding and trumpeter Takuya Kuroda, add depth without overwhelming the album’s cohesive feel.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRather than spotlighting individual tracks, Change the Wind reveals 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\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTrack List:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e01 R.M.K.\u003cbr\u003e02 Distant Ray\u003cbr\u003e03 Spyder\u003cbr\u003e04 Worms\u003cbr\u003e05 The Damndest\u003cbr\u003e06 Off the Embankment\u003cbr\u003e07 Did We See That Coming\u003cbr\u003e08 Ill-will to Goodwill\u003cbr\u003e09 Annapurna \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003estreet date 7\/24\/2026\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secretly Canadian","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45111513612488,"sku":"840526510498","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0628\/1337\/2616\/files\/WV306_380px.jpg?v=1780944537","url":"https:\/\/1234gorecords.shop\/products\/pre-order-corey-king-change-the-wind-lp","provider":"1-2-3-4 Go!
