Splicing pop n' lock-friendly space funk with gospel and gracious soul! Everything on 'Kings Ballad' is handcrafted and non-sample based. Georgia Anne Muldrow plays all her own instruments; writes and performs her own songs.

US artist Georgia Anne Muldrow introduces her new album, 'Kings Ballad', for her new label, Ubiquity Records. Splicing pop n' lock-friendly space funk with gospel & gracious soul, Muldrow is shining as a true West Coast original with 'Kings Ballad': all original, all exclusive material, with Muldrow singing, rapping & making all the beats.

The album features vocal appearances from Medaphor & Muldrow's husband, Dudley Perkins & son, Nokware. The seeds of her early experimental releases for Stones Throw are now blossoming, as her trademark scattershot beats & adventurous deep-jazz melodies have grown to become the backbone for fully crafted songs.

With aspirations to be a modern-day Quincy Jones, Muldrow is truly a renaissance musician. Everything on Kings Ballad is handcrafted & non-sample based. She plays all her own instruments; writes & performs her own songs.

Written & produced during transitional times (the early days of the Obama administration, the last days of the life of Michael Jackson (a family friend & big inspiration) & while her son grew towards his first birthday), this freeform collection of new joints is oozing with confidence & vision, as Muldrow leaps across genre boundaries.

'Kings Ballad' was recorded on the back of Muldrow's recent collaborations with both Mos Def, for his 'Ecstatic' album & with Erykah Badu, for her 'New Amerykah' album.
