Entertainment Reviews:
Spin - p.102
3 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he youngest son of Afro-beat superstar Fela Anikulapo Kuti strikes a commanding pose on his swaggering debut....Many of the interludes are simply thrilling..."The Wire - p.78
"Seun's vocals have just the right blend of muscle and fire: strong enough to carry the message while searing a path through the clenched interplay of guitar, horns, percussion and supporting vocals."Mojo (Publisher) - p.102
4 stars out of 5 -- "[A]n astounding slab of Nigerian funk, from the moment the two rhythm guitars commence jousting at the start of 'Think Africa,' through the samples of Fela's old nemesis Olusegun Obasanjo..."Blender (Magazine) - p.86
3.5 stars out of 5 -- "[T]hese seven-minute grooves are so focused you can tell they have something to prove."Paste (magazine) (p.71) - "Providing a rekindled voice for the often voiceless, Seun's courage is gripping and a fitting tribute to his father."
Record Collector (magazine) - p.90
5 stars out of 5 -- "The seven tracks are spellbinding as they rumble along, hypnotic in call and response."Record Collector (magazine)
"[The album] features socially conscious lyrics, shedding light on the hardships of Nigerian villages, partnered with traditionally ethereal drumming and celebratory horns..."Clash (Magazine) (p.127) - "[H]ere Seun makes his own mark, leading the super tight band through seven tracks of super heavy yet deftly nimble afro beat rhythms."
URB (p.86) - "The result is an album that stands up with the best of any Kuti albums in its vibrancy, urgency and melody."
