WATCH Asake Live at the O2 Arena London [Full Concert]
Asake Live at the O2 Arena London | Full Concert ft Olamide, Tiwa Savage & Fireboy
Referencing traditional sounds, soul, and pop, singer-songwriter Asake enriches his fusion of Afrobeats and Afro-house with uniquely filtered elements. A mastery of rhythm, gained from his background as a dancer, enables the artist born Ahmed Ololade to stylishly craft hooks, splash ad-libs, and infuse lingo into these infectious sounds. Wielding deftly crafted Yoruba lyricism, Asake melodically traverses sprightly Afropop (“Lady”), choral soundscapes (“Peace Be Unto You [PBUY]” and “Baba God”), and juju-infused instrumentation (“Mr Money”). A seasoned flair has led to collaborations with both Olamide and Burna Boy, with whom he resides under the Afro-fusion umbrella where street slang and pop vibes blend (“Omo Ope”) and fuji and amapiano coalesce (“Sungba”).
