Kison – Part Hero, Part Woman | Album

We had already posted the lead single/title track from Kison’s sophomore effort, but we feel you need a reminder.  With heavy weight production from the likes of King Karnov, Rahki, and 88-Keys, this is not what you’d expect from the Minneapolis songstress or any female singer for that matter.  A much welcomed addition to any iTunes library.

2.    Part Hero, Part Woman (Produced by Rahki)
3.    Love Dealer (Produced by King Karnov)
4.    Kidnapped By The Future (3052) (Produced by King Karnov)
5.    Here I Am (Produced by Rahki)
6.    Ark (Produced by 88-Keys)
7.    Ricochet (Produced by King Karnov, Scratches by That Dude Reeg)
