KOKOROKO – Tuff Times Never Last

London’s KOKOROKO return with Tuff Times Never Last, a vibrant follow-up that stretches their sound beyond the afrobeat-jazz foundations of their debut. Drawing from 80s British R&B, neo-soul, highlife, lovers rock, and West African disco, the record expands their rhythmic palette while keeping their organic, horn-led energy intact.

Tracks like Sweetie bridge the warmth of Afro-Caribbean dancefloors with modern soul textures, while moments of introspection and nostalgia weave through songs inspired by growing up in London’s Black communities.

Released on Gilles Peterson's Brownswood Recordings with their signature depth and musicianship, Tuff Times Never Last captures a band in evolution — more confident, more playful, and more free.
