Seun Kuti Unveils “Making Of” Video for Highly Anticipated Album
Nigerian musician Seun Kuti has released a captivating “Making Of” video for his upcoming album, “Heavier Yet (Lays The Crownless Head).” The video, filmed and directed by Raphaël Frydman, offers fans a glimpse into the creative process behind this highly anticipated project.
Set to drop on October 4th via Milan independent label Record Kicks, “Heavier Yet” marks a significant milestone in Seun’s career, following the success of his Grammy-nominated album, “Black Times.” This new album showcases Seun’s evolution as an artist and activist, with a focus on African liberation and empowerment.
Produced by a dream team of top-tier producers, including Lenny Kravitz and Fela Kuti and Egypt 80’s original producer Sodi Marciszewer, “Heavier Yet” blends diverse musical influences, from funk to reggae. Seun expresses his gratitude for working with Kravitz, describing the experience as “magical” and a significant learning opportunity.
The album is set to be released on all major streaming platforms, CD, and limited edition vinyl. Fans can expect an album that entertains, inspires, and ignites a spirit of activism and liberation.
Seun Kuti’s parting words in the “Making Of” video resonate deeply: “Monkeys need trees, lions need wilder beasts, crocodiles need a laguna, sharks need water, human beings need beauty, we need it.”
