The singer who who's in London for his album listening party stops by Factory78 to discuss his album and its reception among other things.
Adekunle Gold who is recently in London for his “Gold” album listening party stops by Factory78tv to talk about his album, new video and the impact his album is having and more.
He talks about the concept behind the new music video ‘Ariwo Ko’, working relationship between Adasa Cookey.
On
the reception of the album, he says it’s been good though a few reviews
thought it could have been better, saying it is a learning process for
him even as he worked tirelessly to perfect the album. On what he could
have done better, he jokingly said “Maybe scream till I lose my voice but I think I did that with most of the songs, so it’s fine."
Speaking of
the impact his songs has had on people’s relationships and love lives,
Gold made reference to some guy that came for a gig he was billed to
perform at in Abuja, and how the guy made him know he was the reason he
was getting married the following weekend because he sent a song of
Adekunle Gold to his woman following an argument, which apparently
settled their dispute and was now leading to a happy wedlock.

his insistence to play at the top level has been rewarded spectacularly.(TY Bello)
He went on to say the
amazing thing about it was that the lady is Hausa, so he couldn’t
fathom how she was able to understand his music because he sings mostly
in Yoruba. He also mentioned that somebody proposed to his lady at a
show where he performed his breakthrough song ‘Sade’.

“ It’s been my dream not just to make music but to heal, and it’s happening already.”
He
hopes to leave a legacy of healing through his music and be heard all
over the world. Adekunle then talks about what the relationship is like
in the YBNL camp,with his boss Olamide and his support system.
Rounding off the interview, he performs a lovely freestyle cover of Kent Jones’ ‘Don’t mind’ single.
Enjoy.
