Singer announces release date for debut album

The music sensation who is excited to finally release his debut album calls the album year "The Gold Season" and has this to say... "In the Gold album, I bare my soul to the world. I want people to experience what I felt while creating the album. Also, I hope that in the coming years, my music will still sound as fresh as they did the day they were released."

The singer previously revealed he would be pushing his debut album release date until early July after the Ramadan season which was expected to last from June 6, 2016 to July 5, 2016.

He made this known via a Now O’ Clock podcast hosted by Wole in an episode 1 tagged “Creatives and Criticism” with Adekunle Gold.

“I am pushing it forward a bit because of Ramadan, it was supposed to drop for June 1 before, but apparently it occurred to me that my muslim friends don’t listen to music during Ramadan, so it makes sense to push it forward because of them as well, so by God’s grace in July after Ramadan, and all of us can enjoy it together,” the singer said.

Gold also revealed the album artwork along with the title some over a month ago.

It has also been reported in the news that Gold may be following the footsteps of Lil Kesh in exiting YBNL label after releasing his debut album according to a source from The Herald.

The 'Ready' singer has released a couple of singles in building up to the album which have all been mostly well received, including ‘Ready’, ‘Pick up’ amongst others that are expected to make it to the album.

Adekunle came into music limelight upon the release of his single ‘Sade’, which received massive airplays on radio.

Earlier in the year, the gifted singer revealed producers like Oscar, SeyiKeys, B.Banks and expectedly in-house producer Pheelz were to work on the album while most of the songs were to be mastered and mixed by Simi who will also have songwriting credits on the album.

His music quality has earned him good recognition and reviews, and  more recently he was the award winner for Best Alternative Song for 'Sade' at The Headies 2015.
