Nigerian artist Adekunle Gold today released his highly anticipated album, Catch Me If You Can.
Symbolizing the space that Gold sees himself in life, ‘Catch Me If You Can’ is his fourth studio project and it speaks freedom, clarity, and confidence in the person he’s becoming and centers on the importance of growth, shedding expectations from others, and throwing oneself into the unknown.
With collaborations including Ty Dolla $ign, Stefflon Don, Davido, Lucky Daye, Foushee, Davido, Fatoumata Diawara, and more, this album solidifies Gold’s place amongst the greats and furthers the evolution of his sound, his songwriting, and his production.
Describing the music, Gold himself says it plays as the sound of a happy man and puts forth soulful experiences in love, fatherhood, and understanding.
The leading pioneer of the Afropop genre, Gold remains one of the most prolific, popular, and elegant artists to come out of Africa to date. ‘Catch Me If You Can’ reflect the breadth of natural beauty and dignity of the black experience across art and style that represents Gold’s personality itself: stylish, timeless, and groundbreaking.
He gained recognition from his very first release, “Sade,” a love song which sampled instrumentals from One Direction’s “Story of My Life.” He was signed to Olamide’s record label, YBNL for two years. Since then, Adekunle has released 3 albums: Gold (debuting at #7 on the Billboard World Albums Chart), About 30 (shortlisted
for the GRAMMY® Best World Album), and AfroPop Vol 1 with the global hit record “Okay” and “Something Different.” He has amassed 7.6M followers on Instagram, 2.3M followers on Twitter, and 540k followers on
Youtube.
