Since 1998, the genre bending duo, Hungry Lucy, have been traversing the musical spectrum. Their music creatively fuses trip-hop, darkwave, world music, electronica and pop with haunting female vocals. To date, Hungry Lucy has released 3 full-length albums: "Apparitions" (2000), "Glo" (2003) and this, their 3rd full-length album, "To Kill a King" (2004) as well as appearing on dozens of compilations in the U.S. and over-seas.
Fans of Hungry Lucy's first two releases will not be disappointed with this fresh batch of inspired electro-organic productions crowned with Christa Belle's haunting voice. While not purely a concept album, a common story runs throughout "To Kill a King" as Christa Belle's deeply personal lyrics lead you through a tale of oppression, grief and ultimate triumph.
The uplifting vibe of "Shine" fuses percussion instruments from around the globe with steel guitar and a soaring vocal melody. While the medieval flavored "Stars" evokes an electrified songwriter feel of Dido or even Madonna in her more contemplative moments. The haunting "Softly" is a melancholy gem that tugs hard at your emotions, combining electric piano, harpsichord, slide guitar and Christa Belle's soothing voice. The opening track, "High Price of Mistakes", is a moody synthetic piece that manages to sound icy cold, yet emit a warm glow all at once.
It's this type of beautiful contrast that Hungry Lucy are passionate about, and fully demonstrate on "To Kill a King". Their talent for emotionally blending the familiar with the exotic captures you at first listen and leaves you wanting more.

EVERYONE SHOULD BUY THIS CD!
author: baska_usa
I had heard two Hungry Lucy songs on amazon's free downloads and I totally loved them, so I decided to buy the CD. What awesome music, great voice, and talented band. I haven't stopped listening to it for the past two weeks.

Best CD I've Purchased from CD Baby
author: Kent from Minnesota
I've been buying CDs from CD Baby for 3 years and this is by far the most impressive yet. The first 13 tracks flow seamlessly together. Christa Belle's beautiful voice helps sustain a very appealing downtempo dreamscape. Best tracks are "Shine", "To Kill a King", and "Fool", but they are all very good. My only suggestion to Hungry Lucy: put the last 4 uptempo dance remixes on another album - they seem so out of place with the mood the rest of this wonderful album establishes.

Awesome CD
author: Cory
I first heard some of the CD on Live365.com on DJ Anji Bees Radio station. I like the few songs that she was playing on her stream and decided to buy it. I love it. The vocals are awesome. Also how the CD tells a story fits in nice... Thanks Hungry Lucy!

Can you hear me?
author: Lina
This creation is a bit softer/sadder than the previous ones, but it's still nice. I think fans of enchanting female vocals can appreciate this album. I grew attached to 'Can You Hear Me?' (being that I'm a total beat freak), but I was moved by 'Shine' and the remix of 'The Chase' I missed the raw, bouncier elements of the previous albums but this one is soothing and relaxing. I guess if you listen to the first two albums, you'll need a break from all the head-bobbing and humming. I also love how the whole album tells a sobering story. Yay for the happy ending. Bravo. More.
