The Very Best Makes a King

Singer Esau Mwamwaya and producer Johan Hugo (of Radioclit) have announced their next full-length as the Very Best: Makes a King, out April 7 in the United States via Moshi Moshi. The album follows 2012's MTMTMK, and was recorded in Mdala Chikowa, Malawi. Vampire Weekend bassist Chris Baio, Senegalese singer Baaba Maal, London-based singer-songwriter Seye, and Jutty Ranx's Jutty Taylor are all on the record.
