Watch Our Premiere of Adekunle Gold's New Video for 'Fame'
We get the exclusive on the new visual from Adekunle Gold's About 30.
Adekunle Gold's highly-anticipated sophomore album, About 30, just dropped last week.
The 14-track record includes features from Seun Kuti, Flavour, Dyo, LCGC and British-Nigerian soul singer Jacob Banks, who appears on a remix of the popular lead single "Ire."
The album sees the Nigerian artist flexing immense versatility and range as he delivers emotional ballads, folk-inspired cuts sung in Yoruba, and a few highlife-tinged summer jams.
We've now got an exclusive for you from the album, the brand new music video for About 30 highlight track, "Fame."
<p style="">"'Fame' was written by Adekunle Gold in 2017," his team tells us. "Adekunle often said writing is a form of catharsis for him and this song was born out of a feeling of being outwardly successful yet still not internally happy. The reward and the healing finally came with putting those words to paper and then melody." </p><p><div class="preroll-video"></div><ora-player></ora-player></p><p style="">The UK-shot music video for "Fame," directed by <strong>Scott Jaeger</strong>, shows Adekunle Gold in a room all alone in a spacious loft "full of antiquities and collectors items."</p><p style="">Watch our premiere of "Fame" below.</p><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-youtube">
