Afrobeat royalty Seun Kuti, son of the legendary Fela Kuti has released "Stand Well Well", featuring Posdnous of De La Soul. The single is from his Lenny Kravitz produced album, Heavier Yet (Lays The Crownless Head), which is set for a May 28 release as a deluxe edition."Pos takes aim at social media’s influence on us in his take on 'Stand Well Well,' Kuti’s upbeat ode to staying steadfast and headstrong in a superficial world," says Rolling Stone.

 

"Seun is a powerful soul and it’s inspirational being around him whenever I have been,” Pos says of participating on the single. “The song for me means to stand well rooted in agreeableness. Standing well rooted against the whirlwind of misery dressed up as entertainment online, as well as its powerful elixir of self doubting.

Standing focused to not fall for the trap of redundancy that being on social media can present,” he said further. Seun's upcoming album features additional reworks by Kamal Washington, Alborosie, and Adi Oasis. Check out the single above.
