King Henry What About Me

Grammy-nominated recording artist, King Henry, has previously teamed up with critically-acclaimed emerging artists to craft his forward-thinking music. Now the musical polymath opens up the next chapter in his ever expansive repertoire with his new track 'What About Me' via on Black Butter, Duke City and Sony Music Entertainment Australia. Listen to 'What About Me' NOW.
 
After releasing 'Bad For Me' (featuring Elle Watson) earlier this year, 'What About Me' is the second of three Black Butter/Duke City-released singles due out this year. Made whilst on a trip through NYC, 'What About Me' is about the lament felt at the end of a relationship. King Henry's production balancing the haunting vocal with a deep melancholic sound, underpinned with a 4/4 groove.
 
"'What About Me' was a demo I originally wrote in Cayman Islands on a writing trip with two of my favourite writers Sasha Sloan and Nao. This is a pivotal record to me as it feels like the sound of me settling into King Henry as an artist. I've gravitated a lot more towards house music over the past year and drawn a lot of influence from it for my newer King Henry songs."
 
King Henry's love of cars led to him discovering the South African Car Spinning Premiere League. This became the inspiration for the 'What About Me' video.  Shot by South African director Ernest Knosi it features the daredevil antics of Team Numbi and Bad Company, two of the league most prominent protagonists. Their anxiety inducing theatrics, whisker sized near misses and  general automotive gymnastics, lending the song a new dimension. King Henry explains... "I'm really excited to share this video. Growing up I was always really into cars, and always super fascinated with drifting. When I discovered spinning, which felt like South Africa's version of drifting, I thought this could make for such a dope setting for the song."
 
Since relocating to LA from New Mexico at age 18, Grammy-nominated Henry has emerged as one of contemporary music's most sought after producers, working closely with Diplo and Major Lazer, on tracks like the chart-topping 'Cold Water', and 'Know No Better', as well as 'All Night' from Beyoncé's landmark album LEMONADE , and 'Nothing Without You' from The Weeknd's STARBOY. Recently he produced the LSD (Labrinth, Sia, Diplo) single 'Thunderclouds' and has just finished producing and co-writing the upcoming Sasha Sloan album.
 
Having originally trained in classical guitar, the musically gifted multi-instrumentalist will be joining Gorgon City in the U.S on their long run of dates this October- November...
