Known for his unflinching critiques of political corruption and social inequality\, Femi’s heady mix of funk\, jazz and highlife has always been a tool for resistance and change.\nBut on Journey Through Life\, his new album out in 2025 via Partisan Records\, Femi turns inwards\, balancing the political themes that have defined his career with deeply personal reflections on family\, life\, and inner growth: “I wanted to talk more about me\, about my thoughts and the goals and values that have guided me all these years and led me to where I am now. I’ve never done that on an album before” says Femi.\nFemi began his career as a member of Fela’s legendary band\, Egypt ’80\, and briefly stepped into the role of frontman when his father was imprisoned on fabricated charges in 1984. In 1986 he left to create his own band Positive Force\, and has been forging his own style of Afrobeat ever since\, adding doses of R&B\, rock\, and hip hop to the traditional Yoruba rhythms and jazzy horns. Lyrically\, however\, his focus has remained firmly on issues of power\, oppression\, and social injustice\, and his activism has extended beyond music through collaborations with organizations like Global Citizen and his role as a UNICEF goodwill ambassador.\nAt 62\, Femi stands at a creative crossroads\, poised to explore new depths while staying true to the roots that have shaped him. Journey Through Life offers a profound and personal reflection on the values\, struggles\, and triumphs that have defined Femi’s life\, both on stage and off.

Miss Suter brings abundant love and energy into each of her performances. At an Alexis P. Suter Band show\, the audiences dance and sing along to rollicking roots songs or funky blues numbers; then a few songs later are wiping tears stirred by an awe-inspiring version of “Let it Be” or other songs that touch deeply. Alexis and her band are not just another musical act\, but an energetic and emotional experience that fans return to time after time. Critics struggle to find words to describe her smooth\, deep voice and unique style. Elmore Magazine summarized it well\, “Suter is as fascinating to watch as to hear. A stunning\, ample woman with the face of a cherubic African queen\, her molasses contralto can whisper and purr\, then swell into a pulsating wave of sound that radiates from the depths of her being”.
