The Very Best Gives Up the Goods

• Words: Shawn Reynaldo

Radioclit and singer Esau Mwamwaya ready their debut album for a very hungry audience.

No one was more surprised by the instant buzz surrounding the African-flavored pop of The Very Best than the Swedish, French, and Malawian members of the project themselves. After just a couple songs on MySpace and a successful mixtape, the group was topping critics' lists and showing up on magazine covers. Now, with a successful tour wrapping up and a debut album about to drop, The Very Best is finally giving the people what they want.
