Kore

Offering up progressive symphonic sound, sophomore album by Australian rising star Victoria K, Kore, was specifically written to provide a full orchestral experience that drives people through a sonic journey of growth and grandeur. A concept record, Kore explores modern-day issues through the Homeric Hymn to Demeter the story of Persephone. Victoria K conceptualized the idea for the album with her producer Lee Bradshaw and then spent many months researching and analyzing the Homeric Hymn to Demeter, even meeting with experts of the Homeric Hymns from Greece. The story was then broken up into it's different parts where Victoria Knight wrote the lyrics and developed the melodies for each section of the tale, exploring the myth from a modern perspective. The tracks were written specifically to encapsulate the various sections of the Homeric Hymn to Demeter and tell the story chronologically through each song and the music grows in intensity throughout the record capturing the emotional state of Persephone and other characters as the story progresses.
