He's since developed into a confident, singer and songwriter with a wide palette reflecting all the cultural dimensions of his life. Recorded live at Box Ten Studios in London with Oli Bayston (Boxed In) and Leon Brichard (Ibibio). The record seamlessly fusses intricate contemporary electronics and raw post-punk energy with llungu's stirring, soulful vocals and African shuffles that echo his homeland.
