Kenyan band Sauti Sol is gearing up for the release of their fifth studio album 'Midnight Train' on June 5th. To build anticipation, the band has released a new single 'Insecure' on YouTube, which is now available for streaming.
The song 'Insecure' is about the insecurities we have in/about our lives that make up all the quirks that make us ourselves, as aptly described by the band.
Recorded in Los Angeles, California, Johannesburg, South Africa, and Nairobi, 'Midnight Train' showcases the band's songwriting and producing skills with electric energy and new rhythms. The album's theme is centered around enjoying the journey of life but also embracing the hustles and the trials that come with it.
Special features on the album include American singer and songwriter India Arie on sensual track 'My Everything,' and Burna Boy guest appearing on 'Time Flies.' The album also features 'Disco Matanga (Yambakhana),' the official soundtrack to Netflix's first African Original series Queen Sono, in collaboration with Sho Madjozi and Black Motion.
Pre-add for the album became active in April this year, and for subscribers, today's 'Insecure' is currently available for pre-addition.
The album will be available for purchase on June 5th.
