“It’s been amazing to receive such support for our journey,” says KING. “From the beginning, we always sought out to take time to make music that was authentic to who we are, and we’re so happy to share it with the world and have our sound be received so warmly. We’re so excited to keep it going and share the positivity during our first world tour.”
