Star House is proud to announce the release of Australian soul- stress and ARIA nominee Mama Kin’s critically acclaimed album, ‘The Magician's Daughter’.

Mama Kin will make her debut London performance at The Islington on May 1st, which is certain to firmly showcase her worldwide reputation as a purveyor of foot-stomping bass lines and ballads of open-hearted tenderness.

The Magician’s Daughter reveals an assuredness and potency that has come to define Mama Kin. Created at the junction where strength meets vulnerability, Mama Kin’s music oozes soulfulness. Unafraid to mine the depths of the human condition, Mama Kin taps raw emotions and fears, pushing the boundaries of self-expression and realisation.

Cinematic at times, with lush arrangements underneath deep soulful vocals and bold produc- tion by Jan Skubiszewski (John Butler Trio, Owl Eyes, The Cat Empire), The Magician’s Daughter pushes Mama Kin’s own boundaries, challenging her trademark sound.  

It is Mama Kin’s mother, an actual magician’s daughter, for whom the album is named. Ma- ma Kin’s grandfather worked as a professional magician in post WWII Malta and her mother, Iris, was one of his assistants, “She was and still is engaged in the alchemy of performance, the importance that people believe, that they are left wondering if perhaps magic really does exist. She holds this knowledge and somehow weaves magic into her way,” Mama Kin says. “She is the ultimate magician, the holder and weaver of the smoke and mirrors, but some- how the truest believer.

Part raconteur and all-out entertainer Mama Kin has been nominated for ARIA and AIR awards in her native Australia and shared stages nationally and internationally with the likes of Ani di Franco, John Butler Trio, The Cat Empire and The Waifs.
