The album, which Made describes as both introspective and socially conscious, features tracks that explore personal growth, national realities, and the universal quest for meaning and fulfillment. Songs such as Take It All In Before The Lights Go Out, I Won’t Run Away, and Life As We Know It offer pointed commentary, while tracks like Find My Way, Our Own, and Pray reflect a more meditative tone.
Other songs on the album include Won Na Pa, Wait and See, You Can’t Hide, Oya, My Voice, Story, and After The Tears Flow—each weaving together rhythm, soul, and message in the distinct Kuti tradition.
This new project comes three years after Made's critically acclaimed debut, For€ward, which was released in 2022 as part of the joint album Legacy+, alongside his father Femi Kuti’s Stop the Hate. That release earned Made his first Grammy nomination for Best Global Music Album, further cementing his place in the pantheon of Nigerian musical royalty.
To mark the album’s release, FK Management has announced an exclusive listening party on Sunday, July 27, 2025, at the Afrikan Shrine, a venue steeped in the legacy of the Kuti family. The event promises to be more than just a music showcase — it's being billed as a celebration of Afrobeat culture, innovation, and heritage.
“This is not just another album launch,” said FK Management in a statement. “It’s an immersive experience. A night where art, activism, rhythm, and soul meet in a space that has long stood for resistance, unity, and truth.”
Attendees can expect a vibrant atmosphere, complete with live performances, energetic dance, and deep engagement with the themes behind the music. It’s a rare opportunity for fans to connect directly with Made in a setting that mirrors the spirit of his message-driven sound.
A proud third-generation Kuti, Made continues to carve out his identity while honoring the musical and political legacy of his grandfather Fela Anikulapo Kuti and father Femi Kuti. With Chapter 1: Where Does Happiness Come From?, he’s signaling a deepening of his artistry — fusing bold instrumentation with reflective lyrics and global consciousness.
As the Afrobeat movement continues to evolve, Made Kuti stands at its progressive frontier — carrying the torch, challenging norms, and inviting a new generation to listen, think, and dance.
