Review: Asake doubles down for his second album in quick succession after making such an impact with his debut, Mr. Money With The Vibe. Singing in Yoruba and English alike, the Nigerian singer keeps up the exuberant energy of his first record and delivers an album to put some spring in your step. The tempo is up and the mood is summery as Asake presents his vision of the continued tradition of West African music, capitalising on the recipe which made him such a rapidly rising sensation in the first place. Bursting with ideas and hooks aplenty, this is another sure sign of Asake's ascension as one of the most prominent Nigerian artists doing it right now.
