Your Queen Is A Reptile is the powerful third album from UK jazz innovators Sons Of Kemet, released by the legendary Impulse! label in 2018. Led by saxophonist Shabaka Hutchings, the group creates a dynamic blend of Afro-Caribbean rhythms, jazz improvisation, and spoken word that pushes the boundaries of contemporary jazz. Their sound is both inventive and politically charged, reflecting on the complex experiences of immigrants in the UK.
This compelling album pays tribute to influential Black women, reimagining the idea of royalty through vibrant compositions and thought-provoking poetry delivered by guest vocalist Joshua Idehen. Recorded and mixed across renowned London studios, Your Queen Is A Reptile captures the band's fearless energy and genre-defying style, making it a standout addition to any modern jazz collection.
