Why do we like this?

King emits a warm, expressive feeling -- similar to that sensation when a crush gingerly places their hand against your skin.

Labelled by Ebony as “futuristic soul,” it's easy to make passing references to this trinity's smooth jazz influence. It follows King’s EP (c. 2011) has felt love from R&B royalty of yesteryear, including both Prince and the Queen herself (Erykah Badu). 

This featured track “Hey" is a seraphic vocal arrangement that most certainly pacifies. If it sounds familiar, it’s probably because you heard it sampled on Kendrick's track "Chapter 6".

Their first eponymous LP dropped last month. Listen to the whole album on YouTube, buy on iTunes.
