THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE: “Femi Kuti’s Journey Through Life marks a deeply personal chapter in the Afrobeat legend’s career.
Known for his sharp critiques of political corruption and social injustice, Femi balances his signature “sweet music with a bitter message” with introspective reflections on family, life, and personal growth. Revisiting old tracks with fresh perspectives and producing entirely on his own for the first time, the album captures his journey as an artist, activist, and father. Rooted in his Afrobeat legacy yet boldly charting new territory, Journey Through Life is a testament to Femi’s enduring creativity and resilience.
“Journey Through Life is basically a summary of my life from my childhood to adulthood,” he says. “All through my life family has been a solid foundation, from my parents, grandparents, to my siblings, cousins and now my children, my nieces and nephews, soon my grandchildren, and true to my song at the end of the day for me family is all that matters. I believe many events happen in our lives that draw us away from each other like an undercurrent, but the essence is to manage such events and let love prevail.”
