Adekunle Gold Returns with “Coco Money” — A Bold Blend of Afro-Pop, Confidence, and Creative Sampling
Singer-songwriter Adekunle Gold is back with his highly anticipated new single, “Coco Money” — his second official release of the year. First previewed during an exclusive dinner event in May, the track channels his signature fusion of Afro-pop, Afrobeats, and highlife, anchored by his unmistakably smooth vocals.
“Coco Money” stands out for its inventive sampling, weaving in elements of Rihanna’s hit “BBHMM” to capture a bold, high-energy vibe. Produced by Niphkeys, the track delves into themes of wealth, luxury, and self-assuredness — a reflection of Adekunle Gold’s ongoing embrace of the “soft life” aesthetic.
Marking his first major release since February’s “Obimo,” “Coco Money” signals another step forward in his evolving sound — following the momentum of his 2023 album, “Tequila Ever After.”
