King King Drop Powerful New Single “Strong” Ahead of Album Light Up The Sky

July 7, 2025 rocknews

British blues rock heavyweights King King have unleashed their blazing new single “Strong”, kicking off the summer with a potent dose of grit, soul, and swagger. It’s the first track from their eagerly awaited upcoming album Light Up The Sky, set for release on September 29th, 2025—a record that promises to amplify the band’s signature sound while exploring bold new sonic territory.

“Strong” arrives as a thunderous anthem of resilience. Built on a bedrock of driving rhythm and soaring melody, it marries frontman Alan Nimmo’s powerhouse vocals with fiery guitar work that channels both anguish and triumph. The track wastes no time: from the opening riff, it pulses with raw energy, underpinned by Zander Greenshields’ groove-heavy bass and Jonny Lodge’s precision drumming. The chorus strikes with emotional clarity, offering listeners a fist-in-the-air declaration of perseverance.

This release also marks a milestone for King King’s lineup, featuring Alan’s brother Stevie Nimmo as a full-time guitarist and vocalist. Their sibling synergy adds muscle and nuance to “Strong,” deepening its emotional resonance and solidifying the band’s dynamic as both familial and ferocious.

Light Up The Sky marks a bold next step in King King’s journey, expanding their sonic landscape without abandoning the authenticity that’s earned them their loyal following. Fueled by years of hard-won experience and unshakable chemistry, the album promises to deliver soul, swagger, and stadium-worthy ambition, all stamped with the band’s unmistakable groove. Rather than a return, it’s a reaffirmation — King King at full power, pushing the boundaries of blues rock with heart and grit.

To celebrate the album’s launch, King King will hit the road this autumn for a UK tour, bringing their electrifying live energy to fans across the country. Meanwhile, their rare U.S. appearance at the Playing With Fire Festival in Omaha, Nebraska on August 15th offers American audiences a coveted glimpse of the band in peak form.
