Our Take

VULA VIEL's latest offering, "Do Not Be Afraid," is a breath of fresh air in a music landscape dominated by the same old tired stereotypes. With their unique blend of traditional Ghanaian music and modern electronica, the band creates a sound that is both familiar and exhilaratingly new.

From the moment the first notes of "Well Come" hit your ears, you know you're in for something special. The combination of Bex Burch's mesmerising gyil playing and Ruth Goller's powerful bass lines is nothing short of intoxicating. It's like being wrapped in a warm, welcoming hug from a long-lost friend.

Tracks like "Fire," with its infectious groove and haunting vocals, will have you dancing around your living room in no time. And "Ruby," with its shimmering melodies and pulsating rhythms, is guaranteed to get stuck in your head for days.

But it's not all about the music with VULA VIEL. The band's lyrics are as thought-provoking as they are catchy, touching on themes of love, loss, and the human experience in a way that feels both personal and universal.

So do yourself a favour and give "Do Not Be Afraid" a listen. It's an album that will not only make you groove but also make you think – a rare combination in today's music industry. VULA VIEL may not be a household name (yet), but with albums like this, it's only a matter of time before they're playing in arenas around the world.
