Nigerian singer-songwriter Adekunle Gold takes listeners on a deeply personal journey with his persuasive, extraordinary track “Simile.” Featuring Soweto Gospel Choir And 79th Element.
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.
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.
