Album: Femi Kuti – Journey Through Life

Femi Kuti’s highly anticipated album, Journey Through Life, has finally been released. Femi Kuti, the renowned Afrobeat legend, delivers his most intimate and contemplative discography to date.

From the outset, the project exudes warmth, depth, and transparency, with Femi’s distinctive saxophone providing a strong foundation.

The album’s title track, “Journey Through Life,” establishes the overall mood with a relaxed, syncopated rhythm and a chorus that serves as a motivational phrase: “Make the best of your journey through life.”

The song embodies the core message of the album, which promotes introspection, emotional liberation, and a fresh perspective on one’s life purpose.

According to Femi, the project represents “a summary of my life from childhood to adulthood,” a tribute to the influence of family, the value of forgiveness, and the importance of inner calm.

Following their powerful performances in the UK and Eastern Europe this year, as well as a homecoming show at The Shrine in Lagos, Femi and The Positive Force are preparing for their North American tour in July.

In honour of its release, a special edition, limited run of Journey Through Life on orange vinyl will be made available starting from May 16. This is a must-have item for both long-time collectors and newcomers to the hobby.

At its core, Journey Through Life is a sonic memoir that documents Femi Kuti’s development not only as a musician but as an individual with deep-rooted values of love, peace, and unity.

This release transcends a traditional album format. Remind yourself to live with purpose, cherish your loved ones, and persist through life’s challenges.
