On his debut album, Gold, hugely popular Nigerian singer/songwriter Adekunle Gold shows us all that glitters when it comes to his compelling, soulful vein of urban highlife and unmistakable, astonishingly nimble vocals. From the sparkling “Sade” to the instantly infectious “Pick Up” to the loping, laid-back “Paradise”, Gold reflects the YBNL Nation star’s eclectic, seamless approach to contemporary R&B. Available exclusively on iTunes, the LP also features a searing collaboration with kindred Naija singer Simi and production from industry heavy hitters like Seyi Keys, Oscar, and Masterkraft.
