3013163, Did Anita Bias Leave KING? Posted by daskap, Sat Jan-12-19 02:51 AM Just saw this tweet on my timeline stating King was now a duo, also noticed on their IG in recent pics its only the sisters in group shots https://twitter.com/moogmusicinc/status/1083852256150212613?s=19
3013170, they removed "musical sister anita" from their bandcamp Posted by Nabs, Sat Jan-12-19 02:12 PM so I guess. That's unfortunate, they sound so good together. I hope everything works out for everyone involved. We Are King is so good.
3013186, RE: Did Anita Bias Leave KING? Posted by Soulroe, Sun Jan-13-19 11:43 AM Damn.
3013191, Confirmation Posted by daskap, Sun Jan-13-19 02:37 PM https://twitter.com/weareKING/status/1084534192816312320?s=19
3013193, That's unfortunate. Dare I say they need her to balance Amber's voice. Posted by Teknontheou, Sun Jan-13-19 11:11 PM She's a grest writer in her own right. Hopefully they still do stuff together, even if they're not a group anymore.
3013199, Is Anita lead vocal? Posted by Mello, Mon Jan-14-19 07:30 AM For all of the songs? I love the record but don’t know who is who between Amber and Anita. I’m trying to understand the magnitude of this change. This is one of my favorite albums of the past ten years. Sucks they won’t be recording together.
3013200, Her and Amber split the leads up pretty evenly. Posted by Teknontheou, Mon Jan-14-19 07:46 AM But they both do good supporting harmony when not singing lead. Amber's voice is higher than Anita's, so I suppose Paris will have to step in now (or they could just try to perform the songs without the vocal harmony they've always had).
3013210, Now I'm curious Posted by Numba_33, Mon Jan-14-19 12:32 PM if the group worked on new material since the album dropped as a trio and if so, what will happen to that material.
3013234, RE: Now I'm curious Posted by Dupree90, Tue Jan-15-19 12:04 PM Great Question!!!
3013223, I had my suspicions about them being a duo now: is WeAreKing their new name? Posted by ramaj1, Mon Jan-14-19 07:01 PM I noticed Anita's absence in recent pub and social media pics and in name when the group's members have been mentioned lately. So, I wondered if she was no longer in the band only to find out that she has indeed parted ways. Sad since KING's sound is so refreshingly sublime and completely original. I am curious to how their music will sound now that they are a duo. Also, I take it that WeAreKING is their official name, now? Their was a '80s rock band with the same name that they would be regularly confused with.
3017928, RE: Did Anita Bias Leave KING? Posted by LoversandDreamers, Mon Aug-19-19 11:57 AM Hope I'm wrong, but I just don't see them working sonically as a duo. They will have to add vocal layering in studio to maintain their distinct style and replicating that live is going to be a challenge. Very talented ladies though.
3017970, I Wonder If This Song Has All 3 Singing Or Just The 2 Sisters? Posted by Dj Joey Joe, Mon Aug-19-19 07:41 PM I saw this this song features King on it, since this came out this year, not sure if this actually was recorded when all three members were together or afterwards with just Paris & Amber doing harmonies? Devin Morrison feat. King "The Call (407)": https://youtu.be/Rvs2m1E1fY8
3017993, I think just the two of them based on Devin's IG post Posted by daskap, Tue Aug-20-19 12:18 AM https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu-Niykl7WT/
3018001, Damn. Posted by Boogie Stimuli, Tue Aug-20-19 04:15 AM Life happens!
3018054, I wish she'd replace Marquetta Miller in Knife Knights. Posted by isaaaa, Tue Aug-20-19 11:40 PM She definitely has the free time now Anti-gentrification, cheap alcohol & trying to look pretty in our twilight posting years (c) Big Reg http://www.Tupreme.com
3019066, Their new track with Sam Sparro is incredible Posted by daskap, Wed Sep-25-19 09:22 AM Paris produced it https://youtu.be/AgMUNnN7kuQ
3019067, Paris is a monster. There is a live version of 'Love Song' and her keys >>> Posted by CherNic, Wed Sep-25-19 10:30 AM used to be on youtube but I can't find it :/ I think it was at a venue in NY
3019068, Is it this one? Posted by daskap, Wed Sep-25-19 11:17 AM https://youtu.be/MvrxoEOP5o8 Wouldn't mind hearing Paris produce for other artists since it takes forever and a day to get new music from them
3019084, omg yes. I think I have this on at least 4 of my devices Posted by CherNic, Wed Sep-25-19 06:13 PM Is that a Moog she's on? A BEAST
3019098, RE: omg yes. I think I have this on at least 4 of my devices Posted by Boogie Stimuli, Thu Sep-26-19 02:26 AM >Is that a Moog she's on? A BEAST Most likely The Matriarch https://twitter.com/moogmusicinc/status/1150774103772684290 https://twitter.com/weareKING/status/1162774446366547968
3019093, Thank you for sharing this... Posted by Mello, Wed Sep-25-19 09:15 PM Echoing the comment on Paris...BEAST.
3019223, RE: Their new track with Sam Sparro is incredible Posted by LoversandDreamers, Mon Sep-30-19 02:33 PM It is dope AF. Think Sam should just fill that 3rd spot permanently. Their harmonies are on point.
