About the album
This is Rael Jones’ original soundtrack to the four-part Showtime documentary series ‘The Kings’, which chronicles four of the greatest boxing icons —Roberto Durán, Marvelous Marvin Hagler, Tommy Hearns and Sugar Ray Leonard.

‘The Kings’ spotlights boxing’s evolution from the end of Muhammad Ali’s era to the era of the four boxers, set against the seismic political and socio-economic shifts taking place in the United States. Through in-depth interviews and archival footage, the series also examines the very personal battles that each man waged on his unique journey to the center of the sports world.

The series is executive produced by James Gay-Rees (Amy, Senna, Drive To Survive) and Paul Martin (Diego Maradona, Drive To Survive), produced by Fiona Neilson (Oasis: Supersonic, Coldplay: A Head Full of Dreams) and directed by Mat Whitecross (Oasis: Supersonic, Road To Guantanamo, Coldplay: A Head Full of Dreams).

‘The Kings’ airs on Showtime, Sunday 6th June at 8pm ET/PT.
