The Bablers

Mr. King (Single)

Big Stir Records

This mellow power pop song is gentle social and political commentary. Released the day before King Charles' coronation, it asks if Mr. King and Mrs. Queen are as happy as they seem in their castle. It’s charming, somewhat atmospheric, and suggests, without saying so directly, that maybe it's time for them to step down. So if you’re in the mood for something gently quirky, this would fit the bill.
