Is King Koro the last of the romantics? Perhaps. ‘Hopeless Romantic’ offers a stark and honest look into what he believes to be the main flaw of modern dating. While everything seems to center on temporary connections and carnal instincts, the Houston-based rapper advocates for a deeper take on love and attraction, favouring the emotional connection over the physical one. King Koro delivers such a powerful message with incredible charisma and heightened elegance, wrapping it into dynamic hip-hop energy and catchy songwriting.
Overall, the listening experience feels lush, groovy and uplifting. Sultry too, but in a positive way. Aiding a vibrant, wholesome musical atmosphere, King Koro lends his cathartic rap flow and melodic bars to an already wonderful piece, creating the perfect record. Boasting an intricate history and strong ties to the Church, Koro saw them all: from losing himself in a vice-filled Chicago, to finding his way back to the ultimate truth. Perhaps we could learn something from him?
‘Hopeless Romantic’ also features impactful visuals in the form of a music video co-directed by Will Thomas and Christina Jackson.
