notes

Since 1998, the genre bending duo, Hungry Lucy, have been traversing the musical spectrum. Their music creatively fuses trip-hop, darkwave, world music, electronica and pop with haunting female vocals. To date, Hungry Lucy has released 3 full-length albums: "Apparitions" (2000), "Glo" (2003) and this, their 3rd full-length album, "To Kill a King" (2004) as well as appearing on dozens of compilations in the U.S. and over-seas.

Fans of Hungry Lucy's first two releases will not be disappointed with this fresh batch of inspired electro-organic productions crowned with Christa Belle's haunting voice. While not purely a concept album, a common story runs throughout "To Kill a King" as Christa Belle's deeply personal lyrics lead you through a tale of oppression, grief and ultimate triumph.

The uplifting vibe of "Shine" fuses percussion instruments from around the globe with steel guitar and a soaring vocal melody. While the medieval flavored "Stars" evokes an electrified songwriter feel of Dido or even Madonna in her more contemplative moments. The haunting "Softly" is a melancholy gem that tugs hard at your emotions, combining electric piano, harpsichord, slide guitar and Christa Belle's soothing voice. The opening track, "High Price of Mistakes", is a moody synthetic piece that manages to sound icy cold, yet emit a warm glow all at once.

It's this type of beautiful contrast that Hungry Lucy are passionate about, and fully demonstrate on "To Kill a King". Their talent for emotionally blending the familiar with the exotic captures you at first listen and leaves you wanting more.

  • EVERYONE SHOULD BUY THIS CD!
    author: baska_usa

    I had heard two Hungry Lucy songs on amazon's free downloads and I totally loved them, so I decided to buy the CD. What awesome music, great voice, and talented band. I haven't stopped listening to it for the past two weeks.

  • Best CD I've Purchased from CD Baby
    author: Kent from Minnesota

    I've been buying CDs from CD Baby for 3 years and this is by far the most impressive yet. The first 13 tracks flow seamlessly together. Christa Belle's beautiful voice helps sustain a very appealing downtempo dreamscape. Best tracks are "Shine", "To Kill a King", and "Fool", but they are all very good. My only suggestion to Hungry Lucy: put the last 4 uptempo dance remixes on another album - they seem so out of place with the mood the rest of this wonderful album establishes.

  • Awesome CD
    author: Cory

    I first heard some of the CD on Live365.com on DJ Anji Bees Radio station. I like the few songs that she was playing on her stream and decided to buy it. I love it. The vocals are awesome. Also how the CD tells a story fits in nice... Thanks Hungry Lucy!

  • amazing album
    author: qet

    I heard "To Kill a King" on auralgasms radio and loved it so I bought the cd. This cd is just awesome, the vocals are gorgeous and the music is very impressive, it seems like sometimes artists have a good idea and nice vocals but the music sounds underproduced, definitley not the case here. most of the music on this album kinda reminds me of some of the newer "poppy" delerium but the lyrics have a lot more depth so it feels like you are listening to a song and not just music.

  • Can you hear me?
    author: Lina

    This creation is a bit softer/sadder than the previous ones, but it's still nice. I think fans of enchanting female vocals can appreciate this album. I grew attached to 'Can You Hear Me?' (being that I'm a total beat freak), but I was moved by 'Shine' and the remix of 'The Chase' I missed the raw, bouncier elements of the previous albums but this one is soothing and relaxing. I guess if you listen to the first two albums, you'll need a break from all the head-bobbing and humming. I also love how the whole album tells a sobering story. Yay for the happy ending. Bravo. More.

  • I'm feeling you Hungry Lucy!

    I've been listening to your music "To Kill a King" and I'm loving it. It sounds very professional, and the music is awesome. I think you are very original, and your lyrics are definitely thought provoking, to say the least. Wow!!!!!!!! I'll have to get it now.
