Falz talks about Adekunle Gold’s conscious change from his Orente style of music to the Afro-pop he does now:
“Adekunle Gold’s change and growth was dependent on him as an artist and what he stood for. He made a change based on his personality and where he was at the time and I don’t think it is a bad thing. An artist changing his sound is a subject conversation.”
