After an exceptional 2024, Asake is setting the tone for another incredible year with the release of his latest single, Why Love.
Produced by his frequent collaborator, Magicsticks, Why Love carries all the usual elements of an Asake tune—booming log drums, hypnotic rhythms, and a seamless fusion of Amapiano and Afrobeats. His signature vocal layering and chant-like delivery add depth to the track, and it’s instantly recognizable to fans following his meteoric rise.
Lyrically, Why Love delves into the emotional turbulence of romance, with Asake showering his love interest with affection while reflecting on the unpredictable nature of love. The upbeat, dancefloor-ready production contrasts with the introspective theme, creating a song that is both thought-provoking and irresistibly groovy.
Notably, Why Love marks Asake’s first official single since parting ways with the YBNL label, a defining moment as he embarks on a new chapter of independence. The new single reassures fans of his creative evolution and lays the groundwork for what is shaping up to be another incredible year.
With a fresh wave of music to be expected this year, Asake is proving once again that he is here to stay, dominating the Afrobeats scene with his amazing style and boundless energy. Why Love is just the beginning.
