Asake, a member of the YBNL, has just dropped his much awaited second album, “Work of Art,” the follow-up to his critically praised first, “Mr Money With The Vibe.”
Following in the footsteps of his illustrious label boss, Olamide, who boasts a prodigious array of albums within his highly decorated catalogue, Asake has astonishingly delivered not one, but two meticulously crafted studio albums in less than two years since his appearance on the musical landscape.
With a total of 14 tracks, “Work of Art” is a vast collection of aural beauty that demonstrates the range and depth of Asake’s creative inventiveness.
This musical tapestry skillfully stitches together several of his previously published songs, including Yoga, 2:30, and the number-one Amapiano.
With the exception of the respected presence of Olamide on the previously released tune, Amapiano, Asake travels the enormous span of artistic expression on this musical voyage, showcasing his extraordinary skill as he shines primarily in a solo capacity. Asake demonstrates his amazing capacity to attract listeners through this essentially individualized style. He skillfully crafts pieces that provoke a wide range of excitement and elicit a genuine connection with his audience.
The flawless production work of Magicsticks, Blaise Beatz, P. Prime, and Anoop D’Souza is largely responsible for the ‘Work of Art’ album’s musical excellence. Together, these talented producers have contributed their knowledge to mold the album’s lush soundscapes, giving Asake’s already great tunes depth and character.
