Celebration, American reggae band Common Kings’ brilliant new album, showcases the band’s dynamic sound, melding genres and musical influences – reggae, pop, rock, R&B, hip hop and more – into one ‘feel good music’ record.
Common Kings are more than a band of musicians, they are a family, a lifestyle, a community, a brother and sisterhood. Music was the common bond for these Pacific Islanders who have together transcended their Polynesian reggae roots to achieve pop crossover success since releasing their first music in 2011.
While all the band members grew up in Orange County, California, most of them were born in the South Pacific which is why their sound seems almost local.
Common Kings are set to reign in New Zealand as their music has a melody and natural harmony that has seen other Pacifica bands head to the top of our charts.
Celebration is just that for Common Kings…a way to toast more than a decade of musical excellence and have a real good time doing it.
