2016 studio album by King
POPULARITY
Die Fähigkeit, hervorragende Melodien zu großen Liebesliedern und weltumarmenden Hymnen zu verarbeiten, hat die vier Musiker zu einer der erfolgreichsten und größten Bands unserer Tage gemacht. Angeführt durch den sensiblen Songwriter Chris Martin, aber getragen durch die Einheit der Band, wirken Coldplay immer so, als hielten sie den Mühen der Welt ihre Musik entgegen, Melodien voller Wärme und Trost. Manchen mag das inzwischen zu glatt oder poppig sein, andere fühlen sich durch die unprätentiöse Art des Sängers, die Normalität der Band gerade angesprochen: Lieder von Menschen in Jeans und T-Shirt, mit denen man sich besser fühlt. Getroffen haben sie sich als Studenten im selben Wohnheim in London bei Poolbillard, Fußball im Fernsehen und Bier, bevor sie entdeckten, dass sie sich alle für Musik interessieren. Nach ersten Demos und EPs schafften sie es mit ihrem Debüt „Parachutes“ und dem überwältigenden Hit „Yellow“, ein großes Publikum auf sich aufmerksam zu machen. Gerade die warme Stimme des Sängers zu den eingängigen, aber doch komplexen Melodien, passten in die Zeit. Auch das etwas düstere zweite Album mit dem Hit „The Scientist“ verfing sofort, wiedererkennbare Melodien zur Stimme ihres Sängers Chris Martin wurden zum Markenzeichen. „Viva la Vida“ war mit dem Titelsong der nächste Welterfolg. Der Weg von Coldplay führte von da an, auch unter dem Einfluss verschiedener Produzenten vom sogenannten Alternativrock hin zum stadiontauglichen Pop, auch wenn einzelne Lieder und ein Album (Everydays life) viel von ihrer Freude am Experiment zeigten. Kaum Skandale, keine Extravaganzen, freundliche Männer ohne provokante Pose oder abgründige Geheimnisse – das ist das öffentliche Bild von Coldplay. Über neun Alben in 21 Jahren wuchs ihre Fangemeinde stetig an, längst ist Coldplay eine der weltweit erfolgreichsten Stadionbands. Was ist die Erfolgsformel von Coldplay? Warum wachsen ihre Fans auch in der nächsten Generation nach? Peter Urban spürt dem nach im Gespräch mit Ocke Bandixen.

The Ocean Child: Songs of Yoko Ono podcast tells the story of the making of the compilation tribute album of the same name. Conceived and curated by Benjamin Gibbard (lead singer, guitarist and songwriter of Death Cab for Cutie), the LP celebrates the extraordinary work of multimedia artist, singer, songwriter and activist Yoko Ono with inspired new renditions of her songs by an array of brilliant artists - Sharon Van Etten, David Byrne, Sudan Archives, Death Cab for Cutie, Thao, U.S. Girls, Jaysom, Stephin Merritt (of Magnetic Fields), Deerhoof, We Are King, the Flaming Lips, Japanese Breakfast, Yo La Tengo and Amber Coffman. These re-interpretations of her work accentuate Ono's powerful artistic impact, lasting cultural relevance, and utterly unique approach to songcraft. Hosted by Gibbard and music journalist Jenny Eliscu, The Ocean Child Podcast features interviews with several of the album's contributors about their own meaningful connections to Ono's music and art: - Ben Gibbard discusses his own relationship with Ono's music, what first inspired the idea for the album, and why misconceptions about Ono's catalog need to be set straight once and for all. - David Byrne highlights the influence of Ono's book Grapefruit on his Broadway show American Utopia, and talks about adding some new lyrics to his version of the song "Who Has Seen The Wind?," and how he wrangled Yo La Tengo to join him on the track. - Thao examines the barriers that kept her from delving into Ono's music earlier, and explains why recording her version of "Yellow Girl (Stand By For Life)" was so cathartic. - Deerhoof's Greg Saunier reminisces about dancing alongside Ono in a video for one of her songs, and reveling in the sense of freedom she brings to every artistic endeavor. - The Flaming Lips' Wayne Coyne describes what it's like to record with Ono ("She is one of the only people that you just don't get to figure out," he says), and remembers his early encounters with her music -- listening to the early Plastic Ono Band stuff while his older brothers drove him to school, "smoking 4 or 5 joints in the fifteen minutes it took to get there." - Japanese Breakfast's Michelle Zauner talks about how her Asian identity informed her early perceptions of Ono, and how pandemic life influenced her choice to perform her version of "Nobody Sees Me Like You Do" on piano. - Amber Coffman comments on the concept behind her beautiful cover of "Run, Run, Run" and the inspiration she draws from Ono's "incredible sense of personal freedom and peacefulness."

Death Cab for Cutie's Ben Gibbard has been hard at work on “Ocean Child,” his curated tribute compilation to the songs of Yoko Ono, featuring a wide range of guests including We Are KING, Sharon Van Etten, and Sudan Archives. Today we turn our ears to one of the record's standout collaborations with David Byrne and Yo La Tengo as they conquer “Who Has Seen The Wind.”
Due out February 18th, on Yoko Ono's 89th birthday, the Ocean Child: Songs of Yoko Ono podcast will accompany the compilation tribute album of the same name. Imagined and curated by Benjamin Gibbard (lead singer, guitarist and songwriter of Death Cab for Cutie), the LP celebrates the extraordinary work of multimedia artist, singer, songwriter and activist Yoko Ono with new renditions of her songs by an array of brilliant artists including (in order of their voices in the trailer): David Byrne, Japanese Breakfast, The Flaming Lips, Thao, and Death Cab for Cutie, as well as Sharon Van Etten, Deerhoof, Yo La Tengo, Stephin Merritt (of Magnetic Fields), We Are KING, Amber Coffman, Jay Som, Sudan Archives and U.S. Girls. These new interpretations of her work accentuate Ono's powerful artistic impact, lasting cultural relevance, and utterly unique approach to songcraft. Hosted by Gibbard and journalist Jenny Eliscu, the Ocean Child podcast features interviews with contributors about their own meaningful connections to Ono's music and art, whether it's David Byrne describing the influence of Ono's book Grapefruit on his Broadway show American Utopia, or The Flaming Lips' Wayne Coyne describing what it's like to work with Ono, or Japanese Breakfast's Michelle Zauner examining how her own Asian identity affects her relationship with Ono's songs, or Gibbard remembering picking up a vinyl copy of Ono's Season of Glass at a record store years ago, and feeling stopped in his tracks by its beauty, from the very first listen. As he explains, “Her songwriting has been criminally overlooked. This is an artist whose output has run the gamut from avant-garde to bubblegum pop, often across a single album. She has consistently created melodies as memorable as those of the best pop writers. As a lyricist, she has always written with poignance, sophistication and deep introspection. It is my sincere hope that a new crop of Yoko Ono fans fall in love with her songwriting due in some small part to this album we have put together.” On Spotify, thanks to their awesome Music + Talk feature, the Ocean Child podcast will also feature renditions from the Ocean Child album, along with some of Ono's original versions. A portion of the album's proceeds will be donated to WhyHunger, a non-profit organization Ono has supported for decades in their efforts to transform our food system by building social justice and striking at the root causes of hunger and poverty.

On this episode of CrossFade, we’re joined by Ana Diaz (@pokachee), host of Refreshed, for a little refreshment of our own: She reintroduces Matt to Frank Ocean's 2016 opus “Blonde” and Matt returns the R&B favor with Minneapolis-born trio We Are KING’s self-titled from the same year. We discuss Frank Ocean’s penchant for ‘universally personal’ storytelling, We Are KING’s lush songwriting and self-starter mindset, and great questions from the MinnMax community (our favorite bassists, music we’re completely certain you’d like, artists who keep playing with their formula, and where Three Six Mafia belongs in the hip-hop pantheon [don’t miss Jason’s stupid joke about that one]). We close with the funky brass groove stylings of Too Many Zooz courtesy of our supporter-picked song!

Los Angeles' underground soul scene is full of talent. The scene's unique blend of soul, jazz, lo-fi, and electronica has helped to bring LA into prominence. Amber Navran is part of the community, first as a member of soul jazz trio Moonchild, and now as a solo artist. Her debut project, Speak Up was released to critical acclaim in 2017 and showcases both her musicianship and her buttery vocals. She joined us to talk about KING, the Grammy-nominated trio whose EP The Story blew them all the way up and thrust them into the Twitterverse where they remain faves. We talked about the harmonies that make KING's music so swoon-worthy, the arrangements that have dazzled listeners since 2011, and the many reasons "We Are KING" is a heat rock.

We’re dipping our toes into a conversation about what it means to be a music journalist in 2016. What do we do? What is our place is in the “music industry”? How can we all, musicians and critics alike, do better. Everything is fair game as Marcus Dowling and Marcus J. Moore return to help us dig in and ask some serious questions about ourselves and the work we do. Anderson .Paak is on a hot streak that culminated at this year’s SXSW. His latest album Malibu is the spark that lit that fire and we’re here to talk about it.KING’s debut album We Are King is a stellar exploration of R&B sounds both old and new.

YouKnowIGotSoul is back with another podcast right before Valentine's day. This time it's the usual crew (Edd, Kyle and Tom) talking about some of the new R&B releases that happened last week. We begin the podcast talking about the return of Musiq Soulchild. For the last two years, he has been focusing on recording music under his alter egos The Husel and Purple Wondaluv, but he's finally back as Musiq Soulchild with his new single "I Do". After that, we talk about the death of mainstream R&B and we try to figure out who is to blame for killing the genre. Is it the artist, consumer or label? That leads to deeper questions like whether we consider Bryson Tiller an R&B artist? We also talk about KING's new album "We Are King" which Edd almost called a 5 star album. The album ended up being a 4.5 in his books, but that's a major accomplishment for anyone. We also talk about the upcoming albums for SWV, Tweet and K. Michelle. All three are expected to put out new albums relatively soon so we discuss the expectations that we have for each of them. We highlight K. Michelle's new single "Not A Little Bit" in this podcast as we're all big fans of the record. We finish off the podcast with a food discussion. We try to find out what the weirdest food each person has had. We also talk about Valentine's day and Edd gives everyone some tips on things that will impress your significant other.
