Five years after Balance, Manchester duo Children of Zeus return with their third album, As The World Burns…. Across 16 tracks, Tyler Daley and Konny Kon refine their signature blend of street soul, alternative R&B and boom bap hip hop, while weaving in fresh influences that keep their sound evolving.
Guest appearances are used sparingly but effectively, with contributions from Knucks, Young Old Soul, [ K S R ] and Anieszka. Production is once again largely handled by the duo themselves, alongside collaborators including Beat Butcha, Teo and K15.
Lyrically, As The World Burns… reflects on finding peace and joy amid personal and global uncertainty. Honest, soulful and deeply rooted in sound system culture, the album balances introspection with warmth, celebrating music, community and life’s simple pleasures.
After a decade of acclaimed releases, international touring and collaborations with artists such as Ezra Collective, Shy FX and Goldie, Children of Zeus continue to cement their place as one of the defining voices in contemporary UK soul and hip hop. ‘As The World Burns’ arrives on September 4, 2026.
