Tuff Times Never Last Kokoroko

Three years after their acclaimed debut, Kokoroko return with Tuff Times Never Last, a lush and life-affirming suite that blends London jazz with West African disco, R&B, lovers rock, bossa nova and more. The result is a deeply personal record rooted in joy, perseverance and Black British identity. From the nostalgic warmth of Sweetie to the spiritual grace of My Father in Heaven, this album is a celebration of community and emotional growth, all wrapped in the band's rich, groove-heavy sound. Featuring collaborations with LULU., Azekel and Demae, and accompanied by Luci Pina’s evocative cover art, this is a bold, genre-expanding statement from one of the UK’s most exciting ensembles. Pre-order now on limited purple vinyl ahead of their biggest headline show to date at London’s O2 Academy Brixton.
