KINGDOM ANNOUNCES "TEARS IN THE CLUB" DELUXE EDITION + TOUR DATES

KINGDOM ANNOUNCES TEARS XL
DELUXE ALBUM AVAILABLE OCTOBER 13th ON FADE TO MIND; KINGDOM ON TOUR NOW
FEATURING NEW VOCALS FROM SEMMA AND SHAN + REMIXES AND INSTRUMENTALS
LISTEN TO "INTO THE FOLD ( REMIX FT. SEMMA)

After a very warm reception upon release, Kingdom returns with an expanded version of his groundbreaking debut album Tears in the Club, entitled TEARS XL. In addition to the original 10 tracks which feature 2017's breakout star SZA as well as Syd from THE INTERNET, TEARS XL contains brand new vocals from rising vocal acrobat SEMMA and laid back male crooner SHAN plus essential remixes and instrumentals, TEARS XL delves even deeper view into Kingdom's otherworldly, emotional, and bass heavy club-meets-RnB microverse.

Los Angeles based producer Kingdom has built substantial influence with both his discography and the output from his Fade to Mind imprint. He first began to make a name for himself in New York City via a series of mixtapes and club nights; eschewing traditional genre limitations while adeptly combining elements of underground club music with currents of rap and R&B, developing his own potent strain of dance music. After creating several soundtracks for burgeoning fashion label Hood By Air and releasing critically acclaimed EPs on Fool's Gold and Night Slugs, Kingdom moved to Los Angeles to join close allies Total Freedom, Nguzunguzu, and Prince Will where he founded Fade to Mind as both a label and studio, fostering a growing group of experimental musicians and songwriters and cementing the the label's cult following. In 2013 he garnered heavy attention for executive producing Kelela's debut CUT 4 ME while also laying the beat for its breakout single "Bank Head". His debut album Tears in the Club was released in February of 2017 and features collaborations with SZA, Syd from THE INTERNET and Shacar. He has toured extensively across North and South America, Asia, and Europe, and has been featured in publications such as The Fader, Dazed and Confused, Pitchfork, and Artforum.

Kingdom is currently on his world tour, with select dates across the US with TOKiMONSTA - dates below.

PRESS ON TEARS IN THE CLUB
"[Tears in the Club] takes his cavernous, multilayered tracks closer than ever to pop song structures" - NEW YORK TIMES
"a surprising-and welcome-foray into pop territory." - THE NEW YORKER
"Tears updates that vibe with confessionalism and sonic designs that did not exist even a decade ago, the openness and despondent outlooks of millennial tensions, and the unabashedly synthetic noises that make the beat." - NPR
"Kingdom's Tears in the Club Is an Early Candidate for Best R&B Album of 2017" - LA WEEKLY
"Tears is a cohesive collection of tracks that embody the ennui of club life, featuring invigorating melodies that, well, make you want to dance. It's a contemplative, angular debut packed with a range of slow-churning delicacies" - STEREOGUM
"Mining trance, dancehall, and pop, Tears in the Club is extraordinarily beautiful"  "8.5 out of 10" - DJ Mag
"[A] sophisticated amalgam of everything that is skilled and aesthetic from both [the] mainstream and underground" -WIRE
"Rubin, in particular, helped shape a postmodern vision of R&B alongside Kelela and Dawn Richard that's influenced everyone from FKA twigs to Justin Bieber."  - PITCHFORK
