Acclaimed musician and composer Mádé Kuti is pushing boundaries with his newest album, “Chapter 1: Where Does Happiness Come From?”
Building on the momentum of three impactful singles—I Won’t Run Away, Life As We Know It, and Wait and See—this album offers a profound exploration of personal and societal struggles faced by today’s youth in Nigeria. Each track resonates deeply, blending candid storytelling with reflections on growth, social challenges, and the realities confronting a generation.
Through his lyrics, Mádé Kuti critiques the prevailing culture of rivalry, ego, and division that stalls progress and fuels ineffective leadership. Yet, this album goes beyond criticism; it serves as a rallying cry for introspection, unity, and shared accountability. It invites listeners to question where true happiness originates and how it intertwines with national advancement.
“Chapter 1: Where Does Happiness Come From?” acts as both a reflective mirror and a powerful message, signaling the start of a transformative journey. It encourages a slowing down to reflect, to reconnect with core values, and to seek a renewed path forward—one grounded in internal growth and collective responsibility. This work speaks directly to a generation facing uncertainty, urging a fresh vision of progress that begins within each individual.
