Riding high on '6 Figures' surpassing 8million cross-platform global streams/views, NZ hitmaker Kings returns with the first two drops from his forthcoming new project. After proving his versatility across the wildly ambitious release of three genre-defying albums within one calendar year, including hits spanning pop ('We'll Never Know'), throwback R&B ('D'Usse'), dance ('You Do'), rap ('6 Figures') and any number of amalgams of Top 40 sounds, this dual-drop in June 2019 prefaces the next chapter in Kings' career. Working again with producer 10A, Kings has now set his sights on hip-hop - honing the slick, confident sound the pair developed for the "3GO" side of "LOV3 & 3GO" for upcoming album "Leo" (due late 2019). First up as a surprise drop, palette cleanser 'Up Next' serves as a mission statement, setting out the man's intentions and heralding the next era for one of NZ's most prolific artists before the drop of 'Flex'. The upbeat hype track is a self-assured anthem for celebrating personal wins and a positive mental attitude.
