Roots/reggae stars and regular festival favourites Blue King Brown have released their new album, Born Free, after two years of work – and it’s a return to the top of their game. Pursuing their patented socially conscious lyricism, frontwoman Nattali Rize and co. move in new musical directions on the record. Born Free features collaborations with Jamaican legends The Congos and Jesse Royal as well as Katchafire’s Logan Bell, and was mixed by Grammy-winning engineer James ‘Bonzai’ Caruso.
Blue King Brown will bring their live show to the Metro Theatre on Friday January 16, and we’ve got three prize packs to give away, including a double pass to the show and two copies of Born Free – one for you and one for a friend.
