Editor's review
Nigerian guitarist and singer Kunle Kuti plays heartfelt folk-pop ballads, singing with a smooth, soulful voice that recalls in equal measure such disparate artists as Joan Armatrading, Ray LaMontagne, and Jimmy Cliff. Further, Kuti's innate sense of pop production--perhaps learned at the heels of his musician father--turns even the simplest melodies into stirring anthems.
