Filled with a desire to make the kind of music that they grew up listening to, the band has taken a journey to bring the sounds of the past into the future, positioning themselves as a bridge between generations. ROOTS is not only a display of masterful musicianship, it is a vibrant representation of the band`s signature carefree approach to life, love, and everything they encounter along the way.

Songs like ”˜Ifeoma Odoo`, ”˜Anita`, and ”˜Me You I` continue the band`s budding legacy as lovers and romantics, with various women serving as muses for their tender odes.
