Dora Award-winning Toronto singer, composer, multi-instrumentalist and producer Kunlé announces June 26, 2026, as the release date for his highly anticipated new album ‘Kunlé – The Journey’ (via DistroKid), and celebrates with a new lyric video for “So Dear” and his album release concert at Small World Centre in Toronto on Thursday, June 25.
His sophomore album, ‘Kunlé – The Journey,’ will be released on digital and vinyl formats and features seven deeply rooted, personal songs. Music and lyrics are by Kunlé, and he performs vocals and guitar. The second verse lyrics on track two, “Ayé Mo Júbà” were written and performed by special guest vocalist Nigerian artist Adédèjì, and the second verse lyrics on track four, “Ọ̀rọ̀ Kan” are by Nigerian-born/Canada-based singer, songwriter Dipo.
The songs on ‘Kunlé – The Journey’ were recorded in Kunlé’s home studio in Toronto and at Catherine North Studios in Hamilton, ON. It was produced and mastered at Catherine North with Kunlé as co-producer and Will Crann (Blue Rodeo, Whitehorse, Feist, The Glorious Sons and more) as co-producer and recording engineer.
Kunlé, who is also set to play the 2026 Mariposa Folk Festival, states, “My new album is a collection of reflections and experiences built from love, spirit, heritage and the journey of self-discovery. More than a destination, this project maps the roads that shaped me and the quiet truths found along the way. It is both a departure from the expected path and a return home.”
