Nigerian superstar Asake has delighted his fans with the announcement of a new album set to be released later this year. The Grammy-nominated star made the announcement on June 10, 2024, via his social media handle while also revealing the dates for his upcoming “Lungu Boy World Tour.”
This upcoming album will mark Asake’s third album in three years, following his Headies Album of the Year-winning debut, ‘Mr. Money With The Vibes’ in 2022, and his successful sophomore album, ‘Work of Art’ in 2023.
Asake kicked off 2024 with the release of ‘Only Me’ on his birthday, sparking conversations over the use of religious iconography in its music video. Throughout the year, Asake has maintained a strong presence with guest appearances on Zlatan’s ‘Bust Down,’ Victony’s ‘Stubborn,’ Ayra Starr’s ‘Good Bye’ from her sophomore album ‘The Year I Turned 21,’ and Tems’ ‘Get It Right’ from her debut album ‘Born In The Wild.’
Since breaking into the Nigerian mainstream in 2022 with his hit single ‘Omo Ope,’ Asake has rocketed to superstardom, leading a wave of Amapiano log drums in Afrobeats alongside his producer Magicsticks. His upcoming album is set to be another thrilling chapter in Asake’s exciting musical journey.
