The new album marks a bold return to traditional roots, with the artist seeking to push the Yoruba-rooted Fuji sound further into the mainstream.

The album follows the release of his latest single Bobo, which features Lojay and Shoday. With its fusion of Yoruba lyrics, Fuji percussions, and contemporary Afropop influences, Bobo has been described by critics as a clear pointer to the direction of Adekunle Gold’s new sound.

Adekunle Gold stated that the project is not just another body of work but a statement of intent. “Fuji music has always influenced Nigerian sound. With this album, I want to place it firmly on the global stage where it belongs,” he said.

Cultural critics also noted that the move aligns with a growing trend among Nigerian artists to reconnect with indigenous sounds as Afrobeats gains worldwide recognition. By embracing Fuji, Adekunle Gold is seen as both preserving and modernizing an art form deeply tied to Yoruba history.

The 38-year-old singer, who has steadily evolved from alternative folk to Afropop star, has described Fuji as his most personal album yet. Fans expect the project to include collaborations and experiments that balance authenticity with contemporary appeal.
