Nigerian Highlife star, Adekunle Gold makes some of the most defining, sensory encapsulating, and uplifting music that the West African Cultural Renaissance is offering the world. He’s fond of an acoustic foundation, silky vocals, and tales of love in a warm climate. And his newest single is Jore, a perfect example of exactly why he’s quickly becoming such a force of Nigeria’s global music movement. 

 

Built on West African percussion, quick strums of the guitar, and the blissful vocals from Gold and those of countryman and collaborator, Kizz Daniel, Jore is a lighthearted, heavily layered exhibition of Afrobeats tradition meeting West Africa’s worldwide future. It’s, for lack of a better word… Gold.

 

And it’s bound to put a smile on your face.
