Afrobeats talent Adekunle Gold has updated his discography with a new Afrosound titled Rodo, which arrived early on Friday, April 26.
The new release, currently sinking in with the audience, is registered to Def Jam Recordings, a division of UMG Recording IC. Albeit a solo record, part of the mixing and production work was done by Adekunle’s wife, Simi who is also a singer.
Rodo has not gained lots of reviews yet but has all the elements of an African music production as it touches the roots of pure indigenous sounds and employs a lot of the singer’s native language.
The latest song would be Adekunle’s third publication for the year 2024. It arrived months after he dropped the rendition called the Life I Chose, sometime in February this year.
It would be recalled that the singer-songwriter put on a show at the OVO Arena in London in March, this year with his wife, Simi, as a special guest.
