Afrobeats star, Adekunle Almoruf Kosoko, known professionally as Adekunle Gold, has officially begun the year with an upbeat track, titled, The Life I Choose, which is poised to set the parties on vibe.
The single produced by Kel P and released on Thursday February 22, is an up-tempo record that sees AG Baby, as the music star is also called, deliver a street-leaning song in a manner that is reminiscent of the style of production popularised by street pop legend, Terry G, in the late 2000s and early 2010s.
With the upbeat tempo and catchy melody practically begging the listener to move, the track is a sure instant mood boost. By its nature, the record is a club banger – a potential smash.
The Life I Choose is an invitation to join the Lagos Island Prince on a vibrant journey through his self-assured world; a life he has meticulously crafted and fiercely owns. The braggadocio isn’t boastful; it’s a reflection of his hard work and dedication.
The single starts with a sampling from social media figure DJ Chicken, which sets the mood for the blend of White Garment church type percussion and bells on which Adekunle Gold thumps his chest while stating that this is the life he has chosen and intends living it to the fullest.
Adekunle Gold, in the record, paints a picture of a sophisticated existence, where the finer things in life are savoured and enjoyed. It’s not just about material possessions; it’s about the experiences, the connections, and the overall sense of fulfillment that comes with living life to the fullest.
Coming just six months away from the release of his well-received fifth album, Tequila Ever After, The Life I Choose testifies of AG Baby’s artistic evolution. It’s a confident, self-assured record that further exhibits his growth as an artiste.
Recall that the Def Jam Recordings signee, over the years, has captivated audiences with his sensational music, showcasing a consistent ability to reinvent himself and deliver exciting new sounds.
Having enjoyed an impressive 2023 with the hit single, Party No Dey Stop, featuring Zinoleesky, which heralded his successful tour of North America and earned a place in the Top 10 of Pulse Nigeria’s hottest songs of 2023; the music star is set to continue his tour with the next stop being the United Kingdom and The Life I Choose is set to kick-off what can be expected to be another busy year.
