The band's tight musicianship is evident throughout the album, with each member locking in effortlessly to create a sound that is both nostalgic and fresh.

One standout track is "The Power," a powerhouse anthem that showcases the band's ability to blend genres seamlessly. The fusion of Afrobeat grooves with reggae-inflected melodies is nothing short of genius and will have you hitting repeat before you know it.
