Song Review: Saint PHNX Reminds Everyone Their Inner Royalty In “King”
I have reviewed Saint PHNX before, and love their rebellious sound. There song Reload was an insightful look into political immorality that did not feel like some random artist trying to give their “two cents”. It was an in-depth three minute opus into the receptive history of prejudiced policies that motivated alienation between peoples rather than unity. Well, I am happy to say their sound continues to unify with King.
Saint PHNX are master lyricists and rock engineers for empowering one’s inner rebel. In King, there message is clear: let go and let your royalty shine. There is an inner regality to every human being, and instead of constantly trying to restrain or question your greatness: LET IT FREE! In Reload, they questioned why horrible politicians can be treated like infallible kings and queens. to which King feels like a musical follow-up/ petition of the people to start treating themselves as such and start partaking in how their kingdom/ surroundings are run. The message is poignant and refreshing to the somber times we are living in, and embodies the universal moment we have all had where we told ourselves we would do better than our own kings/ politicians at deciding the best for humanity. If you do not see your crown and wear it for the world, how do you expect to have a higher say in it?
Sonically. King is a charmer. More than Reload, King feels like a massive radio hit. which is major feat as Reload felt like an anarchic cry that could blast through a bull-horn. Yet, King is a more subtle, nuanced analysis to that feeling all people get when they want to have a more powerful voice, and are readying their strength to actually have it. Stevie Jukes voice is a deep, raw beacon for lyrical prowess while Al Jukes reminds listeners it is the drums that are the heartbeat/ foundation for every good song/ guitar riff to blaze from.
