WATCH HERE
July 2, 2024 - Gaining momentum worldwide as an innovator without comparison, buzzing Nigerian phenomenon Adekunle Gold shares a new music video for “RODO” out now via Def Jam Recordings. Watch HERE.
On the track, he adroitly switches sonic lanes, stirring together Afrobeats and Amapiano with traditional Nigerian genres such as Fuji and apala. This bold brew of sounds and vibes instantly intoxicates as he delivers upbeat verses topped off by a cheeky chorus in celebration of the most natural form of physical ecstasy. Fittingly, “Rodo” translates to “hot,” and he repeats it in a hypnotic cycle.
It notably arrives on the heels of “The Life I Chose.” Billboard touted it among “Afrobeats Fresh Picks,” going on to praise, “The track employs a spellbinding, psychedelic flavor of Afropop that draws listeners in just the way the rockstar lifestyle drew in Gold.” OKAYAFRICA. raved, “the new single is a triumphant declaration of AG Baby’s pseudo-rockstar status.”
Adekunle Gold continues to expand the scope of his signature sound. He recently dropped the heartfelt “Look What You Made Me Do (Acoustic)” with his wife Simi.
The original “Party No Dey Stop” [with Zinoleesky] catapulted into the Top 10 of the Billboard Top Afrobeats Songs Chart and peaked at #3 on the Official UK Afrobeats Chart. Plus, it has generated over 50 million Spotify streams and 15 million YouTube views on the music video. Of course, it also graced his 2023 debut for Def Jam Recordings, Tequila Ever After.
Adekunle concluded a high-profile North American tour produced by Live Nation and Duke Concept, packing venues in major cities across the United States and Canada. He brought Tequila Ever After to life nightly in front of sold out audiences.
Tequila Ever After includes the singles "Party No Dey Stop," "Ogaranya," and the tracks from his EP Tio Tequila that came out earlier 2023. The 17-track album features production from frequent collaborator Kel-P and Labrinth as well as features from Nigerian singer Zinoleesky, Texas superstar Khalid, legends Pharrell Williams and Nile Rodgers in addition to Gold's wife Simi.
