Nigerian singer-songwriter Adekunle Gold takes listeners on a deeply personal journey with his persuasive, extraordinary track “Simile,” which is featured on his sixth studio album, “Fuji Album,” released on October 3, 2025.
This poignant song, with its profound emotional weight, reveals a chapter of immense grief and subsequent healing in the artist’s life. In Yoruba, the title “Simile” means “rest on me” or “lean on me”—a direct reflection of his emotional state at the time.
The genesis of “Simile” dates back to 2019, when Adekunle Gold was invited to contribute to Beyoncé’s star-studded project, The Lion King: The Gift.
At the time, he was navigating a period of profound sorrow following the death of his father, a time when grief consumed his every moment. Despite the career-defining opportunity, his pain made it nearly impossible to celebrate the moment, let alone create new music.
