Adekunle Gold releases new album “Fuji”

Adekunle Gold releases latest album , Fuji, a 15-track album celebrating 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 release, he shared four singles: “Obimo,” “Coco Money,” “Bobo” featuring Lojay and Shoday, and “Believe.” Now, the full album is out, and he’s encouraging fans to experience 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 when I sing R&B, the fuji essence is there. I wanted to share the sound I grew up on.”

“Fuji is the sound of Lagos,” he said. “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, he draws from Yoruba oral music traditions — apala, fuji, tungba — while also telling stories. Tracks like “Big Fish” recount his journey, Many People reflects on success, and songs like “My Love Is the Same” and “Believe” focus on family and love.

“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 added.

Over a decade after Sade, Adekunle Gold continues exploring different sounds, but with Fuji, he highlights the music that has always defined him.

“Headphones on, press play, and don’t skip. AG Baby’s journey deserves to be heard exactly as he imagined it,” he said.
