Jul 3, 2023It's a well-crafted and often moving album that mixes a bit of Cat Stevens' sound with Yusuf's heart and soul, and it honors both with skill and sincerity.

Jun 16, 2023King of a Land is unlikely to bring in legions of new fans – Yusuf’s Pyramid appearance will hopefully do that. But it’s a lushly beautiful album from one of pop’s master songwriters. Indeed, the medium is perfect – it’s just the message that is a little monothematic.

Jun 21, 2023This is not an overly confessional collection: if you’re looking for self-revelation, you may have to wait for a forthcoming autobiography, but nevertheless there’s much to enjoy.

Jul 11, 2023Throughout the album, Yusuf, who will turn 75 years old this month, is in wonderful voice. He leaves, however, his most affecting performances for the album’s end.

Jun 27, 2023While it’s sometimes a bit too unassuming for its own good, King Of A Land does well to remind the world of just what a legendary songwriter Yusuf/Cat Stevens is.

Jun 21, 2023Loved every moment. Not much else I can say! It was nt. It was mundane but I think that was the point in Yusaf's tale.

Jun 22, 2023Boring lyrics combined with God God God every song. If you want religious music for children, I guess this is passable. Not recommended.
