In 2022 Marcus King released a driving, classic rock-soaked album Young Blood. His follow-up is titled Mood Swings, and it does just that, completely shifting his sound towards soul, stripping out his blazing guitar playing, substituting electro keys and orchestral string work to support his fluid vocals as lyrical pain pours out.
Produced by Rick Rubin (whom King credits immensely), Mood Swings finds King constantly turning that pain into art as he courageously confronts his mental health, lyrically addressing heartbreak, confused lapses, and depression in gut-wrenching fashion while the smooth sounds envelop him. The shift away from rock has put an added emphasis on his vocals which are the real star of the album with King singing passionately, channeling CeeLo Green and Paul Janeway.
