With Something Different, Adekunle Gold shows that he is willing to take risks, and it pays off in a refreshing way.
Making use of the ‘less is more’ theme, the visuals of Something Different correspond with the song’s simple yet artistic touch.
There is something almost mysterious about Adekunle Gold wearing a white cap that has a curtain-like dropping shielding his face against a blue backdrop. This is not something we get to see often from the singer, but it works.
The track is something different (pun intended) and it rings of old school vibes that you can just sit back, listen and relax to. Even Adekunle Gold’s voice sounds elevated as he churns out lyrics that echo his talent not just as an artist but as a musician.
The occasional falsetto comes in when needed and the singer doesn’t overdo it. His hairdo and the stylish earring show that Adekunle Gold is perhaps reinventing himself and embracing that which makes him stand out among his musical peers.
Something Different doesn’t offer something new lyrically but it does present a familiar topic from a creatively refreshing perspective.
