New Single – Was It Worth It
In Store September 28th 2012
Talisman Tour 2012
Out of the studio and on the road, Fremantle’s soulful raconteur Mama Kin, is bringing her new sound and expanded line-up to a venue near you.
With a widespread reputation for stirring live shows, Mama Kin returns to the stage with a swag of new songs that confront the veil between darkness and light.
Was It Worth It, the first single from her new album, The Magician’s Daughter, signals an expansion in Mama Kin’s musical palette. Was It Worth It ushers in a depth and potency underpinned by Mama Kin’s vocals that so spectacularly hover between vulnerability and power.
Cinematic at times, with lush arrangements and bold production, The Magician’s Daughter (due for release in early 2013) pushes Mama Kin’s own boundaries, challenging her trademark sound. Where her debut album Beat and Holler was a soulstress’ war cry, traversing the riotous and the raw, her sophomore album takes us deeper into the human condition, where the magic lives.
“I got used to the idea that I have to be out of my comfort zone to make the kind of art I want to make, I have to feel pushed. I have to be on the edge to be able to jump in and get as deep as I want and need. Magic for me is when there is a transformation inspired by subtle forces, and this is what we aim to bring to our audiences.” Mama Kin
“a delicious hotpot of seductive melodies, stomping percussive beats and classic old-world instrumentation” The Sunday Mail
“really special, totally smouldering” The Sun-Herald
Mama Kin is on tour through September, October and November tickets on sale through www.mamakin.com
Was It Worth It will be released nationally on September 28
The Magician’s Daughter is in store early 2013.
