Adenikè Shows Off Her Genre-Liberated Range On ‘Adenike (Deluxe)’

Following strong support from some of the world’s leading media houses in the past twelve months, and recently surpassing half a million streams on Spotify, on the strength of 2020 hit, Tonight and her eponymously titled mini-EP, released earlier this year, South East London based Afropop singer and songwriter Adenikè, puts her feet down in a bid to show off and show out on an extended version of the earlier released three-track EP, titled Adenike (Deluxe).

Written by Adenikè and produced by some of London’s finest, Adenike (Deluxe) is a captivating five-track project with resounding R&B and afrobeat sensibilities, powered by her enthralling vocals, lush melodies, and relatable songwriting, over captivating soundscapes characterized by opulent drums, splendid synths, infectious basslines, and overall, excellent musicality.

Thematically, the EP is inspired by love, trust, and some of the good and bad choices that we make in our relationships. The EP opens with fan-favorite Enough, which sees Adenikè standing up against toxic relationships and demanding better for women, before swinging the other way by the third song Sweet Love, which, as the title suggests, is an ode to being head over heels in love with someone, paving the way to Read, on which Adenikè and AdeJosh show off their chemistry on the bold afro swing-esque track, before wrapping with feel-good offering Feeling It.

Adenikè has continued to develop her impeccable sound and distinctive style and with Adenike (Deluxe) now leading the way, she proves she is ready to take her UK Afropop and afro-R&B flavor to the world stage.
