Nigerian singer-songwriter Asake has taken the music industry by storm once again with the release of his highly anticipated second album, ‘Work of Art.’
Asake’s ‘Work of Art’: A Fusion of African Music – Celebrating Success and Community
Showcasing his extraordinary talent and unwavering dedication to his craft, Asake seamlessly blends traditional and contemporary African music to create a masterpiece that celebrates success and community.
The album kicks off with the mesmerizing track “Olorun,” where Asake pays homage to the Supreme Being of the Yoruba religion before confidently praising his own achievements.
With a resounding declaration of “I’m a brand new man,” Asake sets the tone for an album that exudes confidence and self-assurance.
Known by his stage name, Asake, Ahmed Ololade’s journey to success began with his first love: dancing.
However, he soon realized that the path to financial stability lay in becoming a consummate artist.
With an unwavering determination, he transitioned to singing and began releasing a string of successful singles.
In 2022, Asake dropped his debut full-length album, ‘Mr. Money With the Vibe,’ which quickly soared to the top of the charts and cemented his status as a star.
With ‘Work of Art,’ Asake demonstrates his understanding that his winning formula needs no adjustments.
The song “What’s Up My G” showcases wistful strings that inject a sense of solemnity, while the characteristic log-drum loop of amapiano creates an infectious beat.
Asake effortlessly switches between vocal rhythms and inflections, revealing the many shades of his wealth.
As he lists off designer brands and luxury cars, the background vocals emphasize his braggadocio as a spiritual act.
In a recent interview with ABC News, Asake stated, “If you don’t feel blessed, you won’t be blessed,” echoing the Yoruba proverb, “Ẹní lówó kó ṣe bí ọba” (“Whoever has riches should act like a king”).
While ‘Work of Art’ offers a diverse range of tracks, some of the most captivating songs on the album are undoubtedly the cheery ones.
“Sunshine” uplifts the listener with its buoyant synths and soaring vocal harmonies, encapsulating the warmth of cherished moments spent with loved ones.
On “Awodi,” Asake’s slow and deliberate delivery carries a message of hope, recounting his rise from the slums.
It feels as though he is extending a helping hand to lift his audience up alongside him.
Asake’s ‘Work of Art’ is a must-listen for music enthusiasts and fans alike.
His ability to fuse traditional and contemporary African music into an extraordinary celebration of success and community is truly remarkable.
