Azekel.
Warm, rich and sumptuous in sound, ‘Three Piece Suit’ is a heartwarming tribute to the Nigerian immigrant experience. An initial draft
of the track first began life at Kokoroko’s studio under the working title ‘Get The Message’.
Crackling through the track’s snug and patiently arranged grooves are subtle touches of funk, adding new dimensions to the band's
signature afrobeat and jazz sound in a way that recalls the work of Cymande. Further caressing the instrumentation is the
incorporation of the Brazilian nose flute and woozy-sounding synth lines, effortlessly transporting the listeners back in time.
The forthcoming EP will mark Kokoroko’s first dose of new music since the release of ‘Could We Be More Remixes’. The experimental
and kaleidoscopic sister project to their 2022 debut album ‘Could We Be More’ which upon initial release earned critical plaudits from
the likes of The Guardian, The Telegraph, Financial Times, Jazzwise, CRACK Magazine and Downbeat Magazine. The release would
also garner their first Top 40 placement on the UK Albums Chart, peaking at No.30.
Enlisting some of contemporary music’s most forward-thinking artists like KeiyaA, Ash Lauryn, Stefan Ringer and Hagan to re-imagine
the original album through a club-focused lens, ‘Could We Be More Remixes’ marked the beginning of the band being cast beyond
spaces unrelated to the jazz sphere. A signal of their incoming next phase.
To coincide with the release of ‘Get The Message’, Kokoroko will be embarking on a headline tour across the UK which will culminate
with a date at London’s O2 Academy Brixton. This will mark the biggest headline show of their career.
