Lack of Afro returns firing on all cylinders with his eighth studio album, Square One, set for release on 8th September via his own label Bastion Music Group. Finding inspiration in his recent trip to the US to produce at the legendary FAME Studios at Muscle Shoals, this is an album full of hope, optimism and good times. “Square One refers to a fresh start - a clean slate. My life had become incredibly chaotic around the release of 'I'm Here Now'. I was battling addiction and a marriage breakdown. It was just after the first lockdown and things quickly went downhill from there - they started to spiral badly and I found myself in rehab, twice. Recovery didn't happen for me straight away - it's been a long road but thankfully I'm now over a year sober, my life is back on track and I'm so proud of Square One. I think of it as my comeback album because in the depths of the dark times and when I was desperately struggling to stay afloat, to even stay alive, I genuinely thought that I would never make music again. I'm so grateful for this.” With a career spanning over 17 years now, one that seen his music appear on films and TV shows around the world and rack up millions of streams online, Adam, like so many, had to go back to Sqaure One, overcoming numerous challenges and setbacks. With a renewed sense of inspiration and energy in his craft, and he is determined to keep the funk alive and kicking.
