London born, Nigeria raised Ola Onabule has developed into one of the most unique and respected singers in Great Britain over the past decade. His four octave voice and his ability to bridge elements of Soul, Jazz and World music have won over critics and created for him a loyal following. This latest album from one of the finest soul/jazz singer-songwriters of his generation and, above all, one of the UK's most compelling performers, is a collection of 12 powerfully emotive and introspective songs that weave incisive lyrics around captivating melodies. The title song deals with the corruptibility of men who come to power with ideals and dreams for their people and their apparent moral collapse once power has been seized what happens to leaders and people in power who compromise those around them for individual gain and profit?
