Prominent Sauti Sol member Bien-Aime Baraza
has dropped his much-anticipated debut album a week after concluding the
group's two-part farewell concerts.
The album,
titled 'Alusa Why Are You Topless', is a seismic earworm which pivots between
exploration of his unique Kenyan touch and a willingness to embrace global
diasporic sounds.
An ambitious
yet extremely finessed record, ‘Alusa Why Are You Topless' contains all manner
of highlights as Bien explores various themes consistent with his chequered
Sauti Sol discography.
The 16-track
album, a sign of the Sol Generation kingpin’s creative confidence, sees the
beloved crooner collaborate with some known and unknown names including
Nigeria's Ayra Starr, Ms. Banks, Scar Mkadinali and Britain's ‘Got Talent’
prodigy Sarah Ikumu.
Bien, who
has been heavily promoting the album, announced on social media that the album is
now available worldwide, inviting fans to take a listen and comment their
favorite song.
"My
debut album out worldwide! Go run it and let me know your fave jam. Drop your
flag while at it!" he wrote on Instagram.
Many of
Bien's compatriots, fellow collaborators and music contemporaries also took to
the comment section to congratulate the 'Inauma' singer.
Tanzania's
Harmonize, Ghana's Camidoh, Nameless, Khaligraph Jones, Okello Max and Karun
are some of the famous names who congratulated the singer on the musical
achievement.
