Seun Kuti unleashes a new version of “Love & Revolution” feat. French-Caribbean singer, bassist and producer Adi Oasis on February 26.

Seun Kuti & Egypt 80 team up with French-Caribbean singer, bassist and producer Adi Oasis on a new single, "Love & Revolution (Cinnamon Version)" out on February 26 via Record Kicks. The song, originally from Seun Kuti & Egypt 80’s critically acclaimed album Heavier Yet (Lays The Crownless Head), will be a part of a new deluxe edition of the album due this spring. Here, Seun enlists Adi Oasis to enhance the original, adding an exciting new soulful layer to the song’s powerful message of love as a revolutionary act.

Inspired by Seun Kuti’s wife and Egypt 80’s backup singer/dancer Yetunde Kuti, "Love & Revolution," is a tribute to the revolutionary spirit of African women and the broader cultural movement of reclaiming African identity.

Regarding the collaboration, Adi Oasis commented: “I’m so honored to be included in this project. Seun and I met a decade ago at a show in Cleveland, and we’ve been following each other since. He's a great human, and one of the best performers out there. His energy shines bright and resonates through his music. I’m so happy that he chose me for this song in particular. Love & Revolution talks about a woman with strong will and a big heart. It celebrates the Divine feminine and shows its strengths. I couldn’t dream of a better subject to sing about.”
