Dr. Chad Marthinussen proudly unveils Crown & Altar, the latest chapter in his ongoing passion project, Kings x Priests. This album is a heartfelt offering that invites listeners into a sacred space where rhythm becomes a path to reflection and spiritual connection.

Crown & Altar presents a more intimate sound, blending Afro beats, fusion, and chill wave, all grounded in a core theme of spirituality. Unlike previous Kings x Priests works known for their energetic Afro-house and Amapiano sounds, this record takes a gentler, more contemplative approach. The music breathes and lingers—with Afro beats and tender African rhythms creating a soundscape that moves both the body and the soul. Though softer, the energy still carries a deep pulse, delivering healing, upliftment, and praise through every beat.

The album’s title, Crown & Altar, is a story in itself. The crown represents weight, victory, and responsibility, while the altar symbolizes surrender, faith, and renewal. The album’s songs live between these two worlds—starting with intimate confessions that rise into triumphant celebrations, and quiet prayers that swell into irresistible grooves demanding movement.

The lead track, “Born Again,” perfectly sets the tone for the album’s journey. It is a powerful declaration of transformation that echoes both personal depth and universal truth. From this opening, Crown & Altar unfolds like a series of chapters, each drawing the listener deeper into the intertwined forces of rhythm, story, and spirit.

“Crown & Altar” is now available on all major streaming platforms globally
