SK & the Kings - 'Thrill'
Just in time for some end of year reflection, SK & the Kings brings back some positivity with lively new single ‘Thrill’.
To euphoric rhythms and infectious grooves, ‘Thrill’ melts away the metaphorical ice. Wrapped into beautifully soulful vocals, SK’s clever lyricism tells a tale as old as time: wanting someone you can’t have. “I wrote this song about a situation one of my girls was going through and I found her story so relatable because we’ve all been there or thereabouts at one time or another,” SK reveals. “It's her asking the person in question to make their choice. I didn’t want this to be a sad story so it’s deliberately upbeat, to show that we’re all strong enough to ask the hard questions when we’re not getting what we deserve.“
Fusing the warm textures of soul, jazz and R&B, SK & the Kings is essential listening for the cold winter months. Upbeat and uplifting, ‘Thrill’ gives a first taste of their intoxicating sound that, hopefully, we will hear a lot more of in the years to come.
