Four years since his major breakout, marked by global success and an unwavering stance in the music industry, Asake has relentlessly owned up to being one of Africa’s most prolific artistes. And with his standout track, “Forgiveness,” from his new album M$NEY, the mega star has shown that his hit-making days are still ahead of him.

Not many artistes can consistently sustain the momentum Ololade Asake has delivered. Following his exit from YBNL Nation to his own label, Giran Republic, the singer now charts a new journey. One that is inspired by the eyes that have seen and achieved the world. Yet the “Worship” crooner is unperturbed, but rather chooses to reflect on his current phase and the complexities that come with it.

On “Forgiveness,” Asake shines through with a supplication for himself, upon the reflection of his bad deeds on the journey to success. On the groovy record engineered by Magicsticks’ masterful production, Asake is reflective as ever despite his ambitious mind. The track explores an Asake who is aware of the consequences of the relentless pursuit of money, including detachment and isolation. Hence, he seeks to resolve this by promising to continue his good works.

The record’s hypnotic composition, driven by Asake’s Fuji signature vocals, a harmonious choral backdrop, and immersive female backup vocals, blends into a captivating listen that shifts your attention from the introspective lyrics. It’s a track that keeps you glued to the dance floor before you remember to make supplications for yourself. Still, the track’s catchy chorus, layered over the uptempo beat, and outgoing acapella are highlights.

Arguably the most outstanding track, Asake’s “Forgiveness,” is an impressive production, with choral undertones that permeate Asake’s catchy melodies for instant replay. More importantly, a track that has found Asake in reflection that isn’t marked by melancholy. And it might be the next big hit for the Afrobeats star.
