Love and Death came out on Strut on November 1, 2010 as STRUT073CD. It was recorded in Berlin in 2010 with members of Afrobeat Academy and mixes new material with freshly recorded older tracks; the studio name was not found. Rhythm Passport calls it a greatest hits of sorts and a more produced record, with Mizin a heavyweight afrobeat track and Kwame a tribute to Kwame Nkrumah. Record Collector's Michael de Koningh, in its Christmas 2010 issue, called it one of the best, if not the best, afrobeat albums of the year. Time Out Accra called it warm, groovy and deeply atmospheric.
