Sauti Sol has finally dropped their fifth studio album today just as promised and the world can’t keep about it.

The award-winning, respected, and sought-after best Afropop group which comprises of Bien-Aimé Baraza, Willis Chimano, Savara Mudigi, and guitarist and record producer Polycarp Otieno has finally lived up to their promise of releasing the highly anticipated 5th studio album ‘Midnight Train’.

The album has hit records like ‘Suzanna’, ‘Insecure’, ‘Brighter Days’, ‘Disco Matanga (Yambakhana)’ which features Sho Madjozi and Black Motion, both from South Africa making this album one of their best projects yet.

On this project, Sauti Sol has a hit record dubbed ‘My Everything’ that’s bound to take over the charts by storm because it features the one and only India Arie and with her heavenly vocals, you can’t say this song isn’t a classic already even though it was released a couple of hours back.
