Recorded in Malawi, Sweden, London & New York, the long awaited second album by The Very Best drops today. If you’ve had a ridiculously miserable weather like we have in the UK, you need this summer bounce in your life right now. End to end hits with some massive collaborations from Amadou & Mariam, Baaba Maal, Spoek Mathambo among others as well as homies, Moroka, A.J. Holmes, Seye & Mo-Laudi. Johan’s productions and Esau’s unstoppable soaring vocals come together like a tropical rain storm of positivity. Pretty safe to say we’re fans.
