Building on the momentum that began in January 2022 with the release of his hit ‘Omo Ope,’ Asake has continued his remarkable journey, marking an exceptional year in the history of Afrobeats. The pinnacle of this success is embodied in the remix of his chart-topping track ‘Lonely At The Top,’ now featuring the acclaimed Grammy and Academy Award winner, H.E.R.
Unveiled on November 15, 2023, the remix follows the song’s outstanding performance in Nigeria, where it notched an impressive 13-week run at the summit of the TurnTable Top 100 charts, establishing a new record for the lengthiest stay at number 1.
By enlisting H.E.R. for the remix, Asake aims to expand the reach of ‘Lonely At The Top’ beyond Nigerian borders and make a mark on the global music stage.
Exploring themes of solitude, emptiness, and the challenges associated with success, the track stands out as a key piece from Asake’s second album, ‘Work of Art.’ Its popularity soared after gaining traction on TikTok, eventually spreading across diverse platforms.
Asake’s stellar 2023 has firmly established him as one of the most sought-after figures in Afrobeats. Following the release of his sophomore album, the sensational artist achieved the remarkable feat of selling out the renowned O2 Arena.
Adding another accolade to his roster, Asake secured a significant achievement with a 2024 Grammy nomination for his hit single ‘Amapiano,’ featuring Olamide. The track earned recognition in the Best African Song Performance category, underscoring Asake’s influence on the global music scene.
