Popular Nigerian content creator Gilmore has stirred conversations in the music industry after praising Asake for the unique introduction style on his project, while also offering advice to emerging artistes.
Gilmore, in a recent statement, commended Asake for opening his album with a prayer-themed track, noting that such intentionality reflects true artistry and thoughtful planning. According to him, many upcoming musicians often overlook the importance of arrangement when putting together a body of work.
“I love the way Asake started with the prayer song. Make una wey be upcoming dey learn. No be say una go just do album anyhow, arrangement is part of the creativity,” he said.
Asake, who recently just released his 4th studio album today, titled M$NEY. Asake, known for his distinctive fusion of Afrobeats and street-inspired sounds, has built a reputation for delivering cohesive projects that reflect both cultural depth and commercial appeal. His use of a prayerful introduction has been interpreted by some as a nod to spirituality, gratitude, and grounding before the energetic progression of his music.
