Made Kuti – I won’t Run Away

Mádé Kuti’s “I Won’t Run Away”: An Anthem of Flawed Resilience

Mádé Kuti, grandson of Afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti, has released his latest single, “I Won’t Run Away,” on May 2, 2025. This powerful track blends Afrobeat, soul, and psychedelic elements, marking a deeply personal exploration of perseverance and growth through embracing imperfections.

Instead of shying away from vulnerabilities, Mádé Kuti confronts them directly in “I Won’t Run Away.” The lyrics and soulful delivery create a stirring anthem about finding strength in one’s flaws and choosing resilience over retreat. The rich musical arrangement, with its poignant horns and driving rhythm, underscores the message of determined self-acceptance.
