Especially, Ahmed Ololade, Asake, through his new show “Lungu Boy”, reveals more of a side of himself that no one ever seems to know. In terms of style, it could well be considered at odds with his previous works, but the delivery is certainly just as above average. A key result is his ability to embrace Afrobeats’ quintessential feel-good sound while drawing influences from RnB, UK rap and electronic music. His preconceived uptempo amapiano signatures have, consistently, gained global recognition in the last few years since his professional debut, making him a new force to be reckoned with African music scenes like many others have subtly crossed Nigerian Afro sounds with a global audience.

Featuring P.Priime as the producer of the first four tracks (Start, MMS, Mood, My Heart) and three others (Suru – track 7, Skating – track 8 and I Swear – track 12), the album is a top notch and quality of global production, especially when Sarz is added on tracks 5, 6, 10, 11 and 13 (Worldwide, Active, Mentally, Uhh Yeahh, Ligali). Similarly, Haitian producer SAK-PASE is credited with producing the other three songs from the project with Whine (14), Magicsticks on Wave (9), Asake, and The Composers in Fuji Vibe (15).
