In 2020, Adekunle Gold released his third studio album, “Afro Pop Vol 1” and some of its songs still have us hooked.
Spotlighting the Hottest Songs from Adekunle Gold “Afro Pop Vol 1” album to put on repeat.
When Adekunle Gold stormed the industry in 2015 with ‘Sade” and his debut album “Gold” in 2016, he was known as the YBNL act with a sound fusion of African Folk Music and Highlife.
Although he found success, Adekunle hungered for more, wanting to diversify into Pop music. Slowly, he made that switch in his second studio album, “About 30” which was met with mixed reactions.
While About 30 was still steeped in Folk and Highlife, Adekunle Gold infused the album with pop music.
He didn’t stop there, as he continued to drop Songs like Young Love,’ ‘Kelegbe Megbe’ and ‘Before You Wake Up” that one would classify as Afropop.
Fast forward to 2020, he dropped his first single of the year, “Something Different” and bam, fans were reintroduced to Adekunle Gold a.k.a AG Baby.
Months later, he released his album “Afro Pop Vol 1,” which is a showcase of his sound vision.
The 10-track project, which differed from previous releases from Adekunle Gold’s stables, exhibits a keen musical grasp and a crazily complex production in sound composure, arrangement, and diverse inspiration.
