As mischievous as she is charming, Fremantle's Mama Kin is part raconteur and all-out entertainer. With a widespread reputation for her unique blend of foot-stomping soul, heart-wrenching ballads and stirring live shows, Mama Kin is back with a swag of new songs, a shift in sonic direction and a new band member.
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.
