"A Bitter Moon For A King....."

Mark King, frontman of Level 42, has released a handful of solo albums since 1984, and his 1998 release "One Man" is certainly worth a listen. King stepped in a new direction with this second album and while some may feel the album was a little too "AC," I disagree. The single "Bitter Moon" is fantastic and should have seen more airplay. The album is a great collage of styles and sounds, but you never forget this is Mark King. Unlike his first solo album, which contained several members of Level 42 in some capacity, this truly is a glimpse into King's diversity. While considered one of the World's greatest bass players (nicknamed Thunderthumbs) his bass is more subdued and the vocals take center stage. King has always had a great voice and the songs on this album give you an opportunity to enjoy it. Below you will find two remixes of the first single.
