New Album: Plunky & Oneness of Juju Made Through Ritual
Strut Records of London presents the first international release in over 30 years by legendary Afro-jazz group Oneness Of Juju with their new album Made Through Ritual on July 11, 2025.
“The album explores the art of deconstruction and reconstruction in music – sampling, sequencing, and live improvisation merge with multi-track recording to craft intricate harmonies and arrangements,” explains Plunky. “The process became a ritualistic expression of creativity and transformation.” The resulting album is a fascinating listen.
Strut Records has released “Share This Love,” the new single from the album
“Share This Love” is a meditative cosmic jazz chant voiced by Oneness of Juju vocalist Charlayne “Chyp” Green. The song was co-written and produced by Plunky and Bee Boy $oul of Richmond, VA, and it is the perfect neo-soul opener for the rest of the jazzy songs on the album.
