Tuff Times Never Last

Kokoroko’s latest album, "Tuff Times Never Last", is an absolute sizzler from start to finish. The London-based collective effortlessly blends elements of Afrobeat, jazz, and funk to create a sound that is as infectious as it is unique. From the moment the album kicks off with the toe-tapping groove of "Abusey Junction", you know you’re in for a wild ride. The band’s tight musicianship and dynamic arrangements keep you on your toes throughout, with each track building on the energy of the last. Lead single "Uman" is a standout moment, with its driving bassline and catchy horn hooks sure to get even the most stoic listener up and dancing. Meanwhile, "Ti-De" showcases the band’s more contemplative side, with its haunting melodies and lilting rhythms transporting you to a smoky jazz club in the heart of London. But perhaps the most impressive feat of "Tuff Times Never Last" is how effortlessly it blends genres and influences without ever feeling contrived. Kokoroko manages to pay homage to their musical roots while carving out a sound that is entirely their own, making this album a must-listen for anyone with an ear for something fresh and exciting. Quite simply, Kokoroko has knocked it out of the park with "Tuff Times Never Last". Trust us, this is one album you don’t want to sleep on.
