ADEKUNLE GOLD BELIEVE

Adekunle Gold is gearing up to release his sixth studio album, Fuji, and the lead single 'Believe' offers a tantalising glimpse of what’s to come. The track is the project’s most pop-forward Fuji fusion to date. It is sleek, melody-driven, and anchored by a standout sample from the 1980 classic 'Just the Two of Us', which Adekunle flips into an irresistible, arms-raised chorus. This nostalgic touch blends seamlessly with modern production, demonstrating Adekunle Gold’s ability to innovate while honouring musical traditions. Rather than leaning on heavy percussion or overt cadences, the Fuji essence comes through in the phrasing, stacked harmonies, and call-and-response energy. The result is a song crafted for global radio while staying deeply rooted in AG’s Nigerian heritage. Beyond its sonic brilliance, 'Believe' is a heartfelt declaration of love, capturing the joy and wonder of meeting the right one. Simply put, Adekunle Gold continues to solidify his reign as an Afropop king. -Rachel Fryer
