Kokoroko haben ihr zweites Album in den Startl\u00f6chern (Foto: Jesse Crankson)<\/h6>\n

Mit der Single \u201eSweetie\u201c haben Kokoroko ihr zweites Studioalbum \u201eTuff Times Never Last\u201c angek\u00fcndigt. Das Londoner Jazz-Kollektiv erweitert drei Jahre nach seinem Deb\u00fct \u201eCould We Be More<\/a>\u201c sein musikalisches Spektrum und lie\u00df sich f\u00fcr das neue Album von britischem R&B der 80er, Neo-Soul, Bossa Nova und Funk inspirieren. Zur Weiterentwicklung ihres Sounds sagt Co-Bandleaderin Sheila Maurice-Grey: \u201eVon Natur aus sind wir Jazzmusiker*innen, aber wir haben versucht, uns nicht auf einen bestimmten Sound festzulegen. Es gibt also eine Freiheit, die wir zu sp\u00fcren beginnen. Wir wollen weiterhin so kreativ wie m\u00f6glich sein, ohne uns irgendwelche Grenzen zu setzen.\u201c<\/p>\n

In der neuen Single \u201eSweetie\u201c greifen Kokoroko westafrikanische Disco-Rhythmen auf und kombinieren diese mit elektronischen Kl\u00e4ngen, die einen ersten Vorgeschmack auf das neue Werk der Band geben. Die zehn weiteren Songs auf \u201eTuff Times Never Last\u201c stellen ein optimistisches Statement \u00fcber die Gegens\u00e4tze des Lebens dar und feiern zentrale Werte wie Gemeinschaft und Zusammenhalt. F\u00fcr das Cover-Artwork<\/a> des Albums engagierte die englische Formation die Illustratorin Luci Pina. Zur farbenfrohen Gestaltung erkl\u00e4rt Maurice-Grey: \u201eDas Thema war der Sommer in London, Familie und das Gef\u00fchl, dass das Publikum eine Art Kirchengemeinde bildet, und wir die Musiker*innen sind.\u201c<\/p>\n

\u201eTuff Times Never Last\u201c, das neue Album von Kokoroko, erscheint am 11. Juli 2025 via Brownswood Recordings. H\u00f6rt Euch hier die neue Single \u201eSweetie\u201c an:<\/p>\n
