Nigerian superstar Asake has delighted his fans with the announcement of a new album that will be released later in the year. The Grammy-nominated star announced on June 10, 2024, via his social media handle while also dropping the dates for his upcoming "Lungu Boy World Tour."
Asake's upcoming album will be his third album in three years after releasing his Headies Album of the Year-winning debut album 'Mr. Money With The Vibes' in 2022 and his successful sophomore 'Work of Art' in 2023.
The news has sent shockwaves of excitement through Asake's legion of devoted fans, igniting fervent speculation about the artistic direction and potential sonic explorations the singer-songwriter might pursue in his next musical endeavor.
Since his meteoric rise to prominence with the release of his hit single 'Omo Ope' in 2022, Asake has captivated audiences with his unique blend of Afrobeats, Amapiano, and other genre-bending sounds.
