Asake - Work of Art

Release DateJune 16th, 2023

ReviewI don't have a frame of reference for this type of music, for all I know, this could be some basic afrobeats stuff, but I really enjoyed it on first listen. Granted, I didn't look up the lyrics, but it feels spiritual and supportive. like let the heavens rain on me, that's how it feels. He does mumble a lot, don't know if that's intentional or that's just how he sings. but the music is just great.

Summaryall the songs hover between 2:30-3:00 so it goes by quick. The quality is consistent, but when he goes sentimental, it's hard to not feel something in return. it's only 36 minutes so unlike a lot of american rap albums, it doesn't wear you down.

Favorite Songs: Sunshine, Mogbe, Remember, Lonely at the Top
Rating: 8/10
