Nigerian singer and YBNL and EMPIRE signee, Ahmed Ololade Asake, aka Asake, has debuted his first single of 2023, titled “Yoga.”
The artist, known for his successful run in the Nigerian music scene, released the single along with a visually-stunning music video. The video delivers a thought-provoking message that’s cleverly intertwined with the song’s lyrics, sung mainly in Yoruba.
According to Asake, the song is all about finding peace and inner calm. “It’s about focusing on my own affairs and protecting my peace so that no one can disturb it,” he explains. In “Yoga,” Asake blends his unique style of Fuji music with spiritual affirmations.
The fame of a musician is not solely determined by the quality of their music, but also by their public image. Nigerian Breakout Pop Star Asake is a musician that is easy to admire and appreciate.
It is no wonder that fans and admirers are on the roll in what promises to be another season of the melody chameleon dropped “Yoga” to the rolling astonishment of his vocal artistry.
And on hearing:
I still balance, I still galant
Alubarika
Bara mi mecca
Para pass para
Al’asake tin pa dollar ah-ah…
I was reminded of his “PBUY,” showcasing Muslim culture while also dressing like a pastor in the music video. On “Terminator,” he sings about his celestial “Sutana” and “Malaika,” and begins the first verse speaking Arabic.
Yoga is an exceptional blend of different cultures and influences – there is the infusion of lebbu culture from Senegal, Nigerian Pidgin/Yoruba lyrics, and Mauritian Sega music creates a unique and captivating sound.
Asake’s vocal dexterity, melodic structure, and lyrical prowess are, once again evident in Yoga, seeing as he seamlessly blends different elements to produce a track that is both spiritually and culturally rich.
The music video is a work of art, with every movement and shot expertly choreographed to convey a message.
Overall, “Yoga” is a testament to Asake’s musical talent and artistry. He is a truly unique and gifted artist who deserves recognition for his innovative approach to fusion music.
Asake’s spiritual journey has been a recurring theme in his art and has been previously showcased on his social media profiles. He recently tweeted on New Year’s Eve, expressing gratitude for the ups and downs of the past year and wishing for God’s blessings in the coming year.
