Know details about the rising Nigerian star Askae and his latest Tour performance in New York City to support his debut album, ‘Mr. Money With the Vibe’
The Nigerian rising star, Asake performed in New York City on Friday night to support his debut album, ‘Mr. Money With the Vibe‘. The album has some heavy-weight features such as the afrobeat icon Burna Boy and American rapper Russ. This energetic and dynamic performance got the fans excited and was most likely projected to increase album sales by a large margin.
In 2018, Asake, originally known as Ahmed Ololade, debuted with his first single and since then he has followed a particular style that has become his signature style over the years. He is known for creating and using West African Afrobeats perfectly mixed with South Africa’s Brazilian-tinged ampiano. This individual sound has been with his journey of artistic growth and helped him to create an individual name for himself.
At New York’s Palladium Times Square, on Friday night, he was seen with his set that was backed by a full band that included horns. The venue was also the largest on his tour and the artist did utilize it to its fullest extent. The audience was also pleased as the singer brought out jazz-influenced sound into a live setting that was a treat to their ears. The look of the artist was iconic, the fit was all denim and he wore his trademark black sunglasses that added an extra flavor to the look. The artist performed his entire debut album in order, starting with the mid-tempo opener, ‘Dull’. As the album’s setlist continued, the songs became more lively along with the artist and his performance.
The performance was quite interesting to see as the performer danced on the stage by introducing some of the fan-made dance steps that his fans had previously shared on social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram reels. The audience cheered back, thanking him for his appreciation toward his fans, and sang along with the track, ‘Organise’. At times, overwhelmed by the response, the singer put down his mic and let the crowd sing the lines. The stage was equally pleasing to look at, the singer’s name was displayed on the LED screen in huge letters behind the artist.
As the show progressed Asake changed into a more casual outfit, a dry-fit long-sleeved shirt, and athletic shorts. In this performance, he has proved what an absolute hell of a performer he is so it will be quite exciting to see how well he performs in bigger venues, which, if going at this pace is not far away.
