Asake Teases Fans With Announcement of New Album

Nigerian superstar Asake has thrilled his fans with the announcement of a new album set for release later this year. The Grammy-nominated artist revealed the news on June 10, 2024, via his social media handles, along with dates for his upcoming “Lungu Boy World Tour.”

This forthcoming album will be Asake’s third in three years, following his critically acclaimed debut ‘Mr. Money With The Vibes’ in 2022, which won the Headies Album of the Year, and his successful sophomore effort ‘Work of Art’ in 2023.

Asake kicked off 2024 in style by releasing the single ‘Only Me’ on his birthday. The song’s music video sparked widespread conversation, particularly for its use of religious iconography, highlighting the growing trend of incorporating such elements into Nigerian music.

In addition to his own releases, Asake has been active in collaborations throughout the year. He has featured on Zlatan’s ‘Bust Down’, Victony’s ‘Stubborn’, Ayra Starr’s ‘Good Bye’ from her sophomore album ‘The Year I Turned 21′, and Tems’ ‘Get It Right’ from her debut album ‘Born In The Wild’.

Since breaking into the Nigerian mainstream in 2022 with his hit single ‘Omo Ope’, Asake has skyrocketed to superstardom. His rapid ascent has been marked by a string of hit singles and two successful albums. His unique sound, characterized by the fusion of Amapiano log drums and Afrobeats, developed alongside his producer Magicsticks, has made a significant impact on the Nigerian music scene.

Asake’s upcoming album promises to be another milestone in his impressive musical journey. Fans eagerly await the new release, anticipating more innovative sounds and chart-topping hits from the artist who continues to push the boundaries of Afrobeats.
