Today, Lookman Adekunle Salami, aka L.A. Salami, drops his much anticipated new single ‘Desperate Times, Mediocre Measures‘ on which he tackles the cyclical nature of power and the need to cultivate love in this power-hungry world. His music is still a tour de force, and Desperate Times, Mediocre Measures is as rousing and poetic as ever.
Not quite folk, not quite indy, not quite common and certainly not boring, L.A. Salami’s lyricism and voice are hypnotic.
Watch the accompanying video below, which was directed by Charlie Williams.
Each man might have a mission
To just advance his position-
Any fault on a decision
The competition’s to game.
How much kindness is left at the top though
When you have a say of a child’s fate
100 miles away?
‘Desperate Times, Mediocre Measures’ is from L.A. Salami’s forthcoming album ‘Ottoline’ available to pre-save & pre-order here: https://orcd.co/ottoline
