Rhythms of Reflection: Mádé Kuti’s Chapter 1 – Where Does Happiness Come From? – A Musical Exploration of Identity, Progress, and Human Connection

Renowned musician and composer, Mádé Kuti, is set to stir conversations and challenge perceptions with the release of his latest album, “Chapter 1: Where Does Happiness Come From?” on 25th of July, 2025. 

This bold and introspective body of work follows the release of three powerful singles; I Won’t Run Away, Life As We Know It, and Wait and See, all part of this larger body of work. Each song has resonated with fans, offering honest reflections on personal growth, social realities, and the challenges facing young Nigerians today. 

Mádé Kuti’s lyrics probe the culture of competition, pride, and disunity that hinders progress and perpetuates cycles of broken leadership. Yet, “Chapter1: Where Does Happiness Come From?” is more than a critique – it’s a call to action. A call to think, reconnect, and recognize that happiness and national progress begin with individual and collective responsibility.

This album is a mirror and a message, marking the beginning of a larger journey that asks one fundamental question: Where does happiness come from? while inviting listeners to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with values that truly matter. It speaks to a generation navigating uncertainty and calls for a new kind of progress, one that begins from within.
