The Tanzanian-born, London-raised vocalist, songwriter and producer Tiggs Da Author is known as a master of hooks, having lent his formidable tones to the likes of J Hus, SL and Stefflon Don. Back in 2019 he put out his own mixtape,
Morefire, which had an easy vitality to it, though all but one track featured a guest artist. Tiggsâs debut album picks up from
Morefireâs warm sonic energy, but this time heâs centre stage. Itâs a smooth record that channels funk, soul, reggae, gospel, Afrojazz and more; Tiggs has said he wants to represent the broad array of sounds from the African continent â no mean feat.
