‘The Chorus Leader(TCL)’ is the title of Timi Dakolo’s third album released on January 26, 2024, four years after his 2019 Christmas album. The album’s title is also an attempt by Dakolo to restate his status as one of Nigeria’s finest vocalists whose work is grounded in the detailed musicality of gospel music while also embracing his South-South culture and the ever-evolving Afrobeats soundscape.
The 17-track ‘TCL’ packs songs that stretch across multiple genres as Timi Dakolo explores Soul, R&B, Afrobeats, Jazz, Highlife, Gyration, Afrobeat, and Gospel while offering his takes on the themes of love, family, hope, and faith.
The album features Patoranking, Phyno, Cobhams , Black Jeez, Ebuka, Noble Igwe, with production credits from Mastercraft and Cobhams.
