The new Africa Express album EGOLI is being previewed again, this time with Where Will This Lead Us To?.
Along with Damon Albarn, there’s collaborations on the album with artists such as Gruff Rhys, Nick Zinner and Georgia, as well as Moonchild Sanelly and Radio 123 who contribute to this single. “I started making this track from an iPhone recording of me playing Otim’s kora,” producer Blue May explains.
“I’d just started to get the beat together when my door opened and Moonchild walks in. We’d never met before and ten minutes later she’d written and recorded all of her parts. Two days later we were getting tattoos representing each other on our arms.”
