Singer to release debut album after Ramadan

Adekunle Gold has revealed he would be pushing his debut album release date until early July after the Ramadan season which is 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.

He then goes ahead to talk about the album making process and dynamics, and dealing with criticisms in the industry from fans. He also revealed who his music influences are and which international  acts  he would love to collaborate with, amongst other entertaining tidbits.
