King Khan has announced plans for his second jazz album following 2020's The Infinite Ones. Named for the long-running David Suzuki series, The Nature of Things is due to arrive on March 10 via Khannibalism/Ernest Jenning Record Co.
Today, the Montreal-bred, Berlin-based artist shares "Snarlin' Lil Malcolm," a tribute to Malcolm X that he was inspired to make "because of the profound transformation he showed in his life, which ended so tragically. His revolutionary words still ring true to this day."
Khan continued:
The Nature of Things LP is dedicated to all those folks out there trying their best to fight for environmental peace and justice. Humanity is on its last legs and in these dire times one must always remember Malcolm's words... "When the 'I' is replaced by 'We,' even 'illness' becomes 'wellness.'"
The track sees Khan on Astro-Infinity bass, King Khan and the Shrines' Torben Wesche on tenor and baritone saxophone, Calexico's John Convertino on drums and percussion and Davide Zolli on drums. Listen to it below, where you can also find the album's tracklisting.
