The Royal Royal New Album Release March 4, 2014 With Sophomore Effort 'The Return Of The King', See Full Tracklist (VIDEO)

 

THE ROYAL ROYAL's are gearing up for the release of their sophomore album, THE RETURN OF THE KING, on March 4, 2014. Brothers Nathan and Gabriel Finochio are back again to create worship music for the next generation on their sophomore release, with fresh, yet honest lyrics on personal, yet universal songs. The album will be released in partnership with The Paradigm Collective and distributed by Central South Distribution and Sony RED.

"Our favorite thing to do as artists is create; the opportunity to record another album is a complete thrill from start to finish," said Nathan. "It's great to work with someone you know almost as well as yourself. It's 'no surprises' living, and it really adds confidence."

The brothers father was a pastor, so they grew up amerced in the church culture. "Our parents taught us to love the church and the value of serving the church; we think serving the church is the best use of our musical gifting," said Gabriel.

THE RETURN OF THE KING will feature 10 tracks including the lead single "Holding On" and the follow-up single "Every Little Bit Of Praise," which debuted at #19 on the AC/CHR charts. The latest single to hit radio is "Real Strength."

"'Real Strength' is for those who have purposed in their hearts to make God their source, and this song is for God to draw you to Himself," said Nathan. "We pray that our generation be one that can see and move beyond the emptiness and confusion of modernity, with its constant distractions that try to fill our anxious souls, and into the presence of our living hope, Jesus Christ."

Producers David Kuwabara and the band's Nathan Finochio worked together to create a musical paradox. "Gabe and I write, play, and talk about how we want the album to sound stylistically, and then we bring David Kuwabara into the picture, who magically materializes and structures the madness in our heads," said Nathan. "Our prayer for everyone that plays this record is two-fold: that they re-discover Jesus Christ in the freshest way, and that the old things seem brand new, all over again."

The brothers recognize that their upbringing gave them an understanding of the power of music influenced by James Taylor, Steely Dan and Stevie Wonder. Their first album Royalty debuted in October 2012 at No. 15 on the Christian iTunes chart.
