Made Kuti Wants You to Think & Question Everything in “Chapter 1: Where Does Happiness Come From?”

Made Kuti has released his second studio album titled "Chapter 1: Where Does Happiness Come From?" This project marks his first fully independent work, different from his earlier collaborations with his father, Femi Kuti. The album, entirely written by Made, showcases his talents as a lead vocalist and trumpeter, blending energetic horns with layered rhythms influenced by traditional Afrobeats, jazz, and calypso, while also nodding to his classical training at the Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance in London.

Lyrically, the album delves into personal reflections, critiques of corrupt leadership, government failures, and material excess, while also exploring themes of hope. Tracks like "Take Lights" and "Go Hide" pulsate with energy, while songs like "Pray Oya" directly address political and social struggles.

The album closes on a lively note with "Tears Flow," leaving listeners in reflection. "Chapter 1" signals a new chapter for Made as he stands.
