Born in Nigeria and Ghana, Afrobeats has become one of the most eclectic—and exportable—sounds in contemporary music, often incorporating everything from rap and dancehall to R&B and house. At the top of the playlist this week is new music from Adekunle Gold’s recently released Fuji, an album whose title began as an acronym (“Finding Uncharted Journeys Inside”), but grew to represent the singer’s connection to the inherently sacred music and culture he was raised in. “It’s just a deep dive into everything I grew up on,” Gold says. “The sounds that formed the artist that I am. Every song. My voice is fújì. Since my first album Gold, I have a fújì-sounding song on every album. Even if I sing R&B, I sound fújì. So I might as well just make this as a body of work and show the world this sound that I grew up on, the sound of my childhood, the soundtrack of Lagos and everything that I’ve embodied as an artist.” Hear new Adekunle Gold music on Afrobeats Hits alongside the rest of the infectious if indefinable sound of 21st-century Africa.
