Femi Kuti’s much-anticipated album Journey Through Life is finally here. The legendary Afrobeat icon Femi Kuti offers his most personal and introspective body of work yet.
From the opening notes, the project radiates warmth, soul and clarity anchored by Femi’s signature saxophone.
The title track, “Journey Through Life,” sets the tone with a laid-back, syncopated groove and a chorus that feels like a life mantra: “Make the best of your journey through life.”
It captures the heart of the album’s message, which encourages self-reflection, emotional freedom and a renewed sense of purpose.
In Femi’s own words, the project is “a summary of my life from childhood to adulthood,” a celebration of the power of family, forgiveness, and inner peace.
Following powerful performances earlier this year across the UK, Eastern Europe and a homecoming show at The Shrine in Lagos, Femi and The Positive Force are gearing up for their North American tour this July.
To celebrate the release, a limited edition orange vinyl version of Journey Through Life will be available from May 16. This is a collector’s must-have for fans old and new.
At its core, Journey Through Life is a sonic memoir that captures Femi Kuti’s growth not only as a musician but as a man grounded in values of love, peace, and unity.
It’s more than an album. It’s a reminder to live with intention, hold your loved ones close and keep moving forward no matter what.
