Kensington are a Dutch rock band from Utrecht. Formed in 2005, Kensington have a strong following in the Netherlands and are quite popular in Belgium, Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

Their new (fourth full-length) album Control, released last Friday, October 28, via Universal Music Netherlands, can be their break-through record in the rest of the world.

Control is the band's strongest effort so far, chock-full of energetic and melodic alternative rock songs with great radio potential; add to the formula the beautiful, distinctive voice of lead singer Eloi Youssef, nice vocal harmonies and expert musicianship, and you get the picture of one of the best European album of the year.

The majority of the songs on Control were recorded in Rome which, as described by the band, took them out of their comfort zone, inspiring them to make new music.

Watch the video for the leading single Do I Ever, a "hands in the air, ask yourself if you've changed" song, according to guitarist Casper Starrefeld, clicking on the image and stream the whole new album on Spotify.
