Renowned Afrobeat artist Seun Kuti, in collaboration with Egypt 80, has unveiled their newest single, “Stand Well Well.”
This track, inspired by Aldous Huxley’s dystopian novel Brave New World, offers a critique of contemporary society’s conformity and the hierarchical structures that shape our world.
Seun Kuti’s impassioned performance is complemented by a captivating trumpet solo from Made Kuti, his nephew and fellow Afrobeat artist.
“Stand Well Well” is the third single from Seun Kuti & Egypt 80’s upcoming album Heavier Yet (Lays The Crownless Head), set to release on October 4th via Record Kicks.
Following the success of “Dey” featuring Damian Marley and “T.O.P.”, the new single continues Kuti’s tradition of challenging the status quo.
“Everything in the world today looks the same. The world is kind of reminding me of Brave New World,” Seun comments.
The song “Stand Well Well” by Seun Kuti, with its captivating rhythms and thought-provoking lyrics, represents a significant addition to his musical and social commentary.
The track is now available for streaming on all major platforms.
