Yusuf (Cat Stevens) | King of a Land
Nearly 60 years into his career, Yusuf (Cat Stevens) still possesses a vivid imagination and an almost uncanny hunger to write, record and entertain. It shines through on King of a Land's new creative landscape.
King of a Land is an epic body of work. More than a decade in the making, its 12 new 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 album's artwork was created by Peter Reynolds, the award-winning children's illustrator. As well as the 'cover art, Peter has created illustrations for each song portraying the album's lyrical themes that feature in the record's accompanying booklet.
