Fast rising Afrobeat star, Made Kuti is not fading away anytime soon.
To buttress this, the artist recently released a new single, I Won’t Run Away, which came under LegacyPlus Records, and written and produced by him.
The thought-provoking track marks a bold and reflective moment in the artist’s evolving sound, highlighting the power of self-awareness and courage to face one’s flaws.
I Won’t Run Away is an anthem for growth, accountability and transformation. It encourages listeners to confront their fears and weaknesses. It also encourages them to embrace the lessons within their struggles, and commit to becoming better individuals, not just for themselves, but also for their communities and the world at large.
“This song is about owning your story,” Made explained. “It’s about looking in the mirror and choosing to face yourself honestly, not out of shame, but out of a desire to grow and be better.”
Ahead of the release, the singer dropped the teaser of the song on his social media platforms with an intimate snippet, captured during a candid conversation with his father, Afrobeat legend, Femi Kuti. The moment highlighted the legacy of self-expression and truth telling that runs through the Kuti lineage, while introducing a deeply personal chapter of Made’s own journey.
Crafted with Made’s signature blend of vibrant horns, layered instrumentation and emotionally stirring lyrics, the track reflects his deep rooted Afrobeat heritage while carving a progressive path for a new generation.
Following the success of his work on For(e)ward and performances across Europe and Africa, I Won’t Run Away signals a new era for Made, one defined by introspection, creative maturity and the fearless pursuit of truth through music.
The single is now available on all streaming platforms.
