The Prince I Became

Editors’ Notes On his second studio album, the “African Gentleman” returns even more confident and self-assured. “Royalty is who I’ve become,” he tells Apple Music. “I took time off to spend some time with myself and now, I know who I am. I am aware of every extent of myself, my purpose, my gift, and it is the most powerful I’ve ever been.” A celebration of love, hope, victory and royalty, this is the story of a man who knows his worth (“Thunder Fire You”), yet also one who remains as expressive and romantic as ever. “I find peace when I’m with you”, he confesses on “Angel”, which features a dynamic Spanish verse from American reggaeton singer Nicky Jam; Sauti Sol joins for an ode to true love (“My Kind of Woman”). Like any royal revered throughout history, he reigns with humility, honouring the twists and turns of journey towards success with “Korèdé”.
