yusuf/cat stevens

The perfect meeting point between Stevens’ astounding 70s output and the bombastic, cinematic orchestration that has adorned more recent releases – long live the king!.

‘King of a Land’ is an epic body of work; More than a decade in the making, its 12 songs are full of extraordinary surprises. Unique and transportive, Yusuf’s new music, words and melodies paint a vivid picture of a world where childlike dreams are brought back into touching distance. His poetical storytelling invites the listener on a journey towards the gates of an alternative universe to that which we presently inhabit - where happy endings do happen.

The enduring success of Yusuf’s musical legacy is built on a myriad of factors but key among them is the uncanny ability he has to translate his vibrant imagination into musical form. This hunger and drive to write, record and entertain, is abundant throughout ‘King of a Land’s new creative landscape. It has not waned.
