Stings is the third studio album by English musician Kamaal Williams, released on 27 September 2023 under Black Focus Records.[1][2]

Background

According to Williams, Stings "integrate[s] more oriental imagery and add[s] more melodic elements."[3] Williams reportedly began composing the album on a newly purchased upright piano during the COVID-19 pandemic. The album was recorded in Los Angeles and Chicago in early 2022. Miguel Atwood-Ferguson features on the record as an arranger.[1]

The visuals for Stings were designed by Sascha Lobe and Kimberly Lloyd.[4]

On 29 March 2023, Williams gave an exclusive performance of the album's songs at a Roland store in London.[5][6]

The song "PKKNO" was released alongside the track listing announcement of Stings.[1]

According to XLR8R, Stings "is rooted in the South London jazz scene that birthed [Williams]" but "levitates into the impressionist symphonies of Claude Debussy, [and] hip-hop and electronic beats."[2]

Reception

Passion of the Weiss ranked the album at number 31 in its Best Albums of 2023 list.[7]
