Nigerian singer-songwriter Adekunle Gold recently shared a heartfelt reflection on his third studio album, “Afro Pop Vol. 1”, which marked a significant turning point in his career.
Released five years ago, the album was a bold declaration of artistic freedom, showcasing Gold’s versatility and experimentation with Afropop, R&B, and other genres.
In his words, “This album was my leap of faith. 5 years ago, I chose freedom because I knew I was bigger than the labels around me. That decision changed everything. Fear became courage, and doors I never imagined started to open.
“I’m forever grateful for what this album did for me and for everyone who embraced it. Nothing has been the same since then.”
