expansive and emotionally charged second album that brings together
a remarkable cast of black British voices. Featuring powerful
collaborations with Tricky, GAIKA, Ghostpoet, Coby Sey, James Massiah
Space Afrika and Labi Junior, the record serves as a landmark moment
for Njoku, a culmination of both the singular musical style and nuanced,
socially-engaged storytelling he’s been crafting throughout his career.
Rooted in themes of spiritual preparedness, cultural resistance and
emotional clarity, the album unfolds through Njoku’s signature blend of
electronic abstraction, falsetto-led songwriting and cinematic
composition. It’s a work that cuts deep. Philosophical, political and
personal, each guest brings a vital new layer to the conversation.

a fi re stoked within him for more collaboration, chie fl y with artists of
colour. By reappropriating traditional western instruments and
arrangements, warping sounds through his own singular production
style, using music to tell stories of heritage and culture
