This summer looks like it’ll be all about Kokoroko! They’ve shared some exciting updates: their second studio album, titled “Tuff Times Never Last“, is set to drop on July 11th. Additionally, they’ve released the lead single, “Sweetie”. To top it off, they’ve scheduled an extensive tour across North America and Europe.
Paying tribute to the vibrant rhythms of West African disco, “Sweetie” is a lively tune led by horns that evokes the blissful, effervescent sensation of being in love. The song incorporates innovative synth sounds and unusual drum beats. This track is one of the eleven on the album titled “Tuff Times Never Last“, which, according to a press release from the band, delves into themes such as unity, community, sensuality, childhood, grief, but most importantly, resilience. Although the album will undoubtedly showcase the band’s distinctive fusion of afrobeat and jazz, it is also expected to encompass elements from genres like neo-soul, bossa nova, lovers rock, and funk.
By nature, we are jazz musicians, but we strive not to limit ourselves to one particular sound,” stated co-bandleader Sheila Maurice-Grey. “This allows us a sense of liberation. Our aim is to remain as imaginative and unrestricted as possible.
Alongside their new single and album unveiling, Kokoroko has additionally disclosed their fresh lineup of summer tour dates. These performances will find them traversing various culturally vibrant cities across Europe and North America, with notable appearances scheduled at iconic venues such as the Newport Jazz Festival.
