Our Take

It's safe to say that Nigerian drummer and musical powerhouse Tony Allen doesn't need to go undercover to stand out in the music world. With his latest album "Secret Agent," Allen proves once again why he is considered a legend in the world of Afrobeat and beyond.

The album kicks off with the infectious groove of "Moyege," setting the tone for a wild ride that never lets up. Allen's trademark rhythmic complexity shines through on tracks like "Ewajo" and "Cruising," where his drumming skills are on full display.

But it's not just about the beats on "Secret Agent." Allen enlists a diverse range of collaborators, from fellow Afrobeat icon Femi Kuti to French electro duo AIR, creating a musical tapestry that is as rich as it is intriguing.

While some may argue that Allen's sound hasn't evolved much over the years, there's something comforting in the familiarity of his music. "Secret Agent" may not reinvent the wheel, but it certainly gives it a fresh coat of paint.

So, whether you're a die-hard fan or a newcomer to Tony Allen's music, "Secret Agent" is definitely worth a listen. With its infectious grooves and stellar collaborations, this album is a testament to Allen's enduring talent and influence in the world of music. Trust us, you won't be disappointed.
