Seun Kuti revealed the news on his Instagram account on June 19, 2024. Earlier in the year, the movie "One Love," which was about Bob Marley, was released. The soundtrack included Nigerian stars Wizkid and Bloody Civilian.
When the movie premiered, Bob Marley's granddaughter Zuri Marley was asked which Nigerian artists she would have preferred her grandfather to work with, she mentioned Fela Kuti and Burna Boy.
Although Fela Kuti and Bob Marley, the late music icons, were never able to work together, their hit songs Seun Kuti and Damian Marley have offered fans the much-awaited opportunity to do so.
The new song, "Dey," which features Damian Marley and Seun Kuti's Egypt 80, promises to be an Afrobeat and reggae fusion that will appeal to listeners all over the world.
The song, which is scheduled for release on June 26, 2024, precedes Seun Kuti's upcoming album, which the Grammy-nominated Afrobeat artist confirmed will include legendary American music producer Lenny Kravitz serving as executive producer.
Seun Kuti worked with a number of international celebrities, such as Janelle Monae on her Grammy Album of the Year nominee, "The Age of Pleasure."
It is anticipated that he would collaborate with respected musicians from around the globe on his next album.
