Greenville's musician on April 5, 2024 gave birth to his new album, produced by Rick Rubin, Mood Swings.

Mood Swings It is King's masterpiece, a eclectic Soul symphony that is only timeless and current. By drawing on King's darkest moments, he became a lighthouse of hope for King as he created it, and will be a refuge for anyone who is going through similar challenges in their lives.

Marcus King towards the end of 2024 published “Sucker“, One of the most representative songs of the soundtrack of the acclaimed animated series” Arcane League of Legends: Season 2 “.

The legendary producer Rick Rubin, who worked with anyone, from Adele to Johnny Cash, was immediately attracted to the way of playing the guitar, by the singular voice and by the writing of King's songs and, after witnessing his live performance, one day he randomly called him to offer him the idea of ​​working together.

Marcus King He faces pain, dependence and mental health in his music. The pain shakes along the vibrated of his voice and his voice is weighed down by regrets imbued with alcohol and errors made in remote hotels. The musician of Greenville, SC, of ​​fourth generation, appointed to the grammy® from the fourth generation, started playing the guitar at the 8 years following in the footsteps of the father and the guitarist grandfather. Taking thousands of kilometers such as “The Marcus King Band”, he established himself with an unparalleled executive ability.

In 2020, he joined Dan Auerbach and recorded his solo debut El Dorado, obtaining a Nomination at the Grammy® Award as “Best American Album”. Between one concert and another, he performed alongside Chris Stapleton, Greta Van Fleet and Nathanyl Rateliff, as well as having participated in the concerts of the Stagecoach and other festivals. He launched several initiatives for mental health, including an auction of guitars in collaboration with Musicares. Now, his 2024 album Mood Swings seems to be the moment of the baptism in which the water washes away the sins and the degradation of a life and everything that remains is a revived primordial scream, but still real as hell. It is as if King had pulled his raw soul directly from his bowels, through the broken heart, to the disc, under the watchful eye of Rick Rubin. Emphasizing his voice in the foreground more than ever, the trusted guitar to which he is often associated acts as a shoulder this time (even if there is no lack of impressive shredding). As dark as everything seems, one cannot help but feel a sense of hope in the power of Marcus' voice.
