OK so there’s a few people involved in this one. It’s the first single from the forthcoming album (RED) Hot + FELA and is a cover of Fela Kuti’s Lady. Producer Merrill Garbus of tUnE-yArDs said, “I wanted to reclaim Lady for women in the world today, particularly African women, who will have an important role in ending the AIDS epidemic there. I was so happy to have the powerful Angelique Kidjo pour her soul into it, and then rapper Akua Naru wrote a raw, intense verse that perfectly extended and completed our vision of the song.”
