Yusuf / Cat Stevens - King Of A Land

King Of A Land is the seventeenth studio album by English singer-songwriter Yusuf / Cat Stevens, released in June 2023 via Dark Horse, Cat-O-Log Records and BMG.

Yusuf / Cat Stevens grew from being a teen idol of the 60s into one of the most influential singer-songwriters of all time. In addition to his vast musical achievements, his lifelong spiritual quest has added intrigue and depth to a ground-breaking career.

Cat Stevens, born Steven Demetre Georgiou, achieved early success in the mid-60s with “I Love My Dog” and “Matthew and Son”. He is a prolific songwriter writing songs such as “Wild World”, “Lady D’Arbanville” and “The First Cut Is The Deepest” the latter, in particular, would go on to become an international hit on multiple occasions for a variety of artists.

King of a Land is an epic body of work. More than a decade in the making, its 12 new songs are full of extraordinary surprises.

Unique and transportive, Yusuf’s music, words and melodies paint a vivid picture of a world which embraces the lost lands of truisms and stainless youth, and brings it into touching distance.

His poetical storytelling invites the listener on a journey towards the gates of an alternative universe to that which we presently inhabit - where happy endings can possibly happen.

The album has received critical acclaim from music critics.

This album is a limited deluxe edition on transparent green coloured vinyl housed in an embossed gatefold sleeve with 36 page booklet and plain green inner sleeve, pressed in Europe via Dark Horse Records and BMG.
