For the amount of tears
We've both been crying
We could sail away over to China
Cast away our fears out in blue waters
What a lovely place to ease our minds

It didn't take long
To see the sun set from it's rise
And I'm a sentimental fool
That's why I've loved you all this time

Let me tell you about the skys
That swam over Eden
They sank to grief, You'd better believe it
Was the dawn a poet once told me
Coloured gold until gold scattered in the breeze

And it didn't take long
To see the colours fade into the night
Now there's something about not being with you
That doesn't feel quite right

Yes, there's something about not being with you
That doesn't feel quite right

LYRICS TO THE SONG 'CHINA'.


"...Freshly Revised and NOW Available here on CD Baby!!!
The first Independent Album from Singer/Songwriter King Orba! Appropriately titled THE PERSONAL PLEASURE ALBUM, this Collection of Songs gives great insight to the Artist's distinct organic sound. Tastefully produced, the rythmic Vibe of his guitar playing and incorporated Vocals on top have an almost ancestoral feel to them..."

excerpt from PUSH MAGAZINE 02-03
...For those unfamiliar with King Orba, his sound lies somewhere in between Chris Robinson of the Black Crowes and Jack Johnson. He cites artists as diverse as T.Rex, Prince, Willie Nelson and The Sex Pistols as influences.
King Orba keeps things loose and upbeat, but punches in found sound such as an AM radio - most poignantly on a song about fishing with his grandmother ('CATFISH LOU' TRACK #1) - or drumsticks on a cola bottle...
He has proficiency in relating an experience in rich visual language. There are few musicians whose message comes across clearly without labored study. Every song of King Orba's that I've listened to receives this hallmark...
by WILL CHANCELLOR.

The Album Also contains 4-Track Recordings from earlier song ideas documented on the artist's mini porta-studio;
Tracks #3, #5, #8 & #11. Soon Available on CD Baby will be a Compilation of 4-Track Songs such as these. Check back for Details!

REVIEWS

This is my favorite out of king orba's albums!
author: Van Wilson
Though RED LIGHTS and HALF MAST are beyond exceptional, this is my favorite out of Orba's CD's. Being his first CD as far as I can tell, you can hear him at times, finding his voice as opposed to the afformentioned releases. For me, it adds this wonderful dynamic to the array of diverse songs on the album. It could not have come out more perfect. Well done. Look forward to the 4-track material and whatever comes after that. Sincerely, V.W.

Fresh and Blues-y , High End Vocals Matched By Great Arrangements
author: Wendy Matusek
This is a new sound , so fresh and full of spirit and soul . I say a mix of blues , soul and rock . King Orba has managed to find a ninche in the music world . This has to be one of the first albums I have heard that has a original sound that grabbed me at first sound . Vocals and music are fresh , arrangements feel new and fit like a glove. The King is here ! And if The Personal Pleasure CD is as good as Half Mast , I must have it , Yesterday .
