Agbeko - When the People Say - Black Vinyl LP | Pre-Order 23.10.26

When the People Say (2026) elevates Agbeko to new heights of rapturous song, powerful hooks and irrepressible musicianship. An album defined by duality, inner monologues coexist with sweeping calls to action, urging revelry and reflection. Fronted by Amber Kuti and Mali Hayes, Agbeko render their collective vision in sound to irresistible effect. Amid venom-spitting horns and Tony Allen-inspired drums, Know How unpicks the unexamined headline- and algorithmic god- fueled internet prophet. Chunky verses and rapid-fire choruses tip the hat to Afrobeat forebears while channeling Mancunian grit. Need Nobody's highlife guitars, Orchestra Baobab-esque horns and sunkissed Gankogui bells underpin Hayes' dreamy vocal embodying the soul-searcher in us all. "I need nobody to tell me so" bursts the doubt and heralds a euphoric singalong. Work It All Out's fanfare slides into swaggering groove, battering-ram solos and Kuti's anthemic cry to a drifting world: "what you gonna do when the people say no?
