Akas comes back strong with a single that bears all the trappings to become
the 2016 pop song of the year. Titled ‘Alaye’, the single is a reflection
of Akas’es raw ambition to get rich off making beautiful music, bragging
about his new team and label (House of Sherucchi Incorporated) and a sober
prayer request to God so as not to fall off the band wagon.
Delivered over a banging beat produced by Jay Sleek and laced with a catchy
hybrid hook, ‘Alaye’ is playful but delivered well enough to leave a
lasting impression of Akas’s talent.
The video shot by Aje Films at various spots in Lagos and styled by Angel
is just the perfect fit for the single: monochrome scenes, beautifully clad
girls twerking happily away and some street vibes to capture the songs’
mood – Akas def just lit summer up!
