Adekunle Gold has unveiled Fuji, his sixth studio album, featuring 15 tracks that showcase the sounds of Lagos.
“Guys, all I ask is this: listen in order, no skips. Whether you know the songs or not, trust the sequence. It’s a journey, an experience you can only feel if you go from start to finish. Thank you,” Adekunle Gold said.
Ahead of the full release, he shared four singles: “Obimo,” “Coco Money,” “Bobo” featuring Lojay and Shoday, and “Believe.” Now, the album is out, and he is urging fans to enjoy it exactly as he intended — from beginning to end.
Speaking to Apple Music, Adekunle Gold explained the album title: “Fuji started as an acronym: Finding Uncharted Journeys Inside. But I’ve always included fuji sounds. Since my first album Gold, there’s been a fuji-influenced song on every project. Even in my R&B tracks, the fuji element is there. I wanted to share the sound I grew up on.”
“Fuji is the sound of Lagos,” he added. “I grew up on it. My auntie played it constantly when I was a child. It’s everywhere — at parties, events, celebrations. It’s part of me.”
On Fuji, Adekunle Gold embraces Yoruba oral music traditions — apala, fuji, tungba — while telling stories. “Big Fish” recounts his journey, Many People reflects on success, and “My Love Is the Same” and “Believe” focus on love and family.
“I love my culture, my traditions, and heritage. I will always uphold it. As Africans, we have a duty to showcase our culture. I will never stop doing that,” he said.
Over ten years after Sade, Adekunle Gold continues exploring different sounds, but with Fuji, he highlights the music that has always been at the heart of his artistry.
“Headphones on, press play, and don’t skip. AG Baby’s journey deserves to be heard exactly as he imagined it,” he concluded.
