Cape Town's own Kings x Priests, a passion project for Dr. Chad Marthinussen, makes a bold and soulful statement with their debut single, "Born Again." The first single from the forthcoming album, "Crown & Altar," serves as an overture for a journey that seamlessly ties rhythm, story, and spirit into a unified experience.
"Born Again" is a testimony laid over a groove. African rhythms beat like a heart, conveying a message of transformation that is both profoundly personal and universally appealing. The beat and the lyric work together to write the story of submission and redemption, as if the crown itself is speaking through the song.
There's an undeniable strength in the friction between intimacy and celebration that Kings x Priests strike. Hushed ruminations break open into movements that impel you to action, expressing the dynamic of victory and surrender. The result is a track that doesn't so much ask to be heard, it asks to be lived.
On "Born Again," Dr. Marthinussen gives a window into faith and artistry colliding with maximum impact. It's an anthem for anyone seeking restoration, an invitation into a sacred rhythm where each drumbeat is a prayer and a reason to rejoice. This is music that gets in the body and the soul. And with "Born Again," Kings x Priests demonstrate that rebirth can be danced even as it is announced.
