Mádé Kuti announces standalone debut album, Chapter 1: Where Does Happiness Come From?
Mádé Kuti has announced his first standalone album, Chapter 1: Where Does Happiness Come From?, alongside the release of a new single, "Life As We Know It".
"I was driving with my wife in the car thinking about how funny life's excesses can be. I asked her to play a rhythmic pattern on the passenger side dashboard as I started writing the song in my head, and I thoroughly enjoyed the direction it took. The result is a lively and groovy song with satirical lyrics about how easily we can lose ourselves in our vices. The second verse reflects on this theme and aims towards growth and progress," he says of the track.
Chapter 1: Where Does Happiness Come From? follows the release of his Grammy-nominated 2021 debut album, For(e)ward, released as part of the Legacy + double-album alongside his father's Stop the Hate.

- Take It All In Before The Lights Go Out
