More than just a prolific producer, but a pioneer of the afrobeats sound in the UK and beyond, Juls is a force of nature. On his latest offering, Peace and Love, an ambitious 18-track album, he proves why he remains a mainstay in the scene even after a decade at work. 

The album itself breathes with life. With the project spanning almost an hour, this is no mean feat. Juls’ production is both delicate and deeply rhythmic. The blend of afrobeats, reggae, soul, hip-hop, dancehall, and highlife, reflects his travels through Ghana, Brazil, Nigeria, and Jamaica, and speaks to his mission to export African music to the world. He expertly crafts soundscapes that are at once warm and intricate, and distinctively Juls, yet with enough breathing room for the storytelling laid down by his collaborators. One quick glance at the project, and the features read as a who’s-who of R&B, rap, and afrobeats; Wretch32, Odeal, Masego, Mereba, Jaz Karis, Joey Bada$$ and tendai, to name a few.
