“THREE!” An album celebrating love, life and happiness

BY EMBUKANE LIBOSSO

Nigerian afro-dancehall superstar Patoranking announces his third album, Three, arriving August 28^th via his own Amari Musiq imprint and US-based Indie powerhouse, EMPIRE.

Contemporary and multifaceted, the new album bills from “Odo Bra” with Ghanaian highlife star King Promise to “Whine It” with Kenya’s Sauti Sol.

Without a doubt there’s no shortage of musical diversity on Three. The project delivers a heavyweight slice of conscious reggae on “Lion in the Jungle” while the tender “Matter” sees Patoranking reconnect with Tiwa Savage, with whom he previously teamed on breakout track, “Girlie O.”

“Three is a strong number,” Patoranking says of the album title’s significance. “It stands for how I see language. In making the album, we tried to look at love, life and happiness. If you are listening to any of the tracks, even if it is a dance track, I want you to feel love.”
