The past four years have marked the singer\u2019s discreet progression from highlife predilection to a now chiseled, long-haired pop sensation, with millions more streams and sold out international venues to match. His latest album <em>Afro Pop, Vol. 1<\/em> was nominated by the 2020 MOBO Awards for Best African Act.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The artist now returns with <em>Catch Me If You Can<\/em>, announced via social media on Tuesday. The album will feature the already available singles \u201cHigh\u201d featuring <a href=\"https:\/\/pan-african-music.com\/en\/tag\/davido\/\">Davido<\/a>, \u201cSinner\u201d featuring Lucky Daye and \u201cIt Is What It Is\u201d.

I\u2019ve become unbothered about things I used to be afraid to do. I\u2019m thankful to be at the point where I\u2019m not constantly worried about how people will react to me living my best life. In popular Nigerian parlance, I want to chop this life because problem no dey finish.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/platoon.lnk.to\/CMIYC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Catch Me If You Can<\/a><\/em> by Adekunle Gold, out on February 4th.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"CLOUD 9\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/haNrppiXTMY?feature=oembed&#038;autoplay=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption>CLOUD 9<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"906\" height=\"890\" src=\"https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/adekunle-gold-catch-me-if-you-can.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-93621\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/adekunle-gold-catch-me-if-you-can.jpg 906w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/adekunle-gold-catch-me-if-you-can-759x746.jpg 759w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/adekunle-gold-catch-me-if-you-can-661x649.jpg 661w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/adekunle-gold-catch-me-if-you-can-465x457.jpg 465w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/adekunle-gold-catch-me-if-you-can-375x368.jpg 375w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/adekunle-gold-catch-me-if-you-can-73x73.jpg 73w\" sizes=\"(min-width:1010px) 759px,100vw\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fresh off the hit \u201cHigh\u201d with Davido, the Nigerian popstar unveils the name and tracklist of his next project which will have to live up to his recent successes.
