Award-winning afro pop band, Sauti Sol announced today that their fifth studio album, Midnight Train, will be released on June 5.

This is the group’s first major label record with Universal Music Africa. The album pre-add goes live today!

Recorded between Los Angeles, California, Johannesburg and their hometown Nairobi, Kenya, Midnight Train demonstrates the bands song writing and producing skills with electric energy and new rhythms.

The album’s theme is centered around enjoying the journey of life but also embracing the hustles and the trials that come with it. You can count on Sauti Sol to deliver music from the heart and Midnight Train, does not stray from the formula.

Special and notable features on the album include American singer and songwriter, India Arie on sensual track “My Everything,” and Burna Boy guest appears on “Time Flies.” When reflecting, Bien explains that “Time flies is inspired by Burna Boy’s increased journey. A lot can happen in a year with dedication.”

The album is a wholesome album and a milestone release for the group. It is inspirational and uplifting and offers much needed social commentary while not losing its global appeal.  “There is a lot of maturity in the album,” states Polycarp.

We have come of age and we express how people should perceive us freely after 11 years as professional singers. Every song speaks to an issue that is relatable to everyone.”
