Sandi King unleashes brooding debut single “Lush Life”

Sandi King releases her debut single, "Lush Life," which is an emotional journey, a tribute, and a daring reimagining of a jazz classic. This initial track from her upcoming album Departure, scheduled to drop on October 22, 2024, offers a powerful sneak peek into what is anticipated to be a varied and remarkable assortment of songs.

This album and this song honor her deceased father, Ron King, a highly respected jazz musician who had a lasting impact on her musical path. The album includes new versions of jazz classics, selected for their importance in their joint musical past or because they were tunes they had previously played together.

From the opening sounds of "Lush Life," it's evident that this jazz is unique. The song is filled with dark emotions, building suspense before bursting into a loud rock climax. Jonny Tarr's impressive saxophone solo elevates the song to the edge of organized disorder, skillfully capturing the emotional depth Sandi King conveys in the music. The sonic adventure concludes with the same intensity as it began, returning listeners to reality while impacting them permanently.
