Seven months ago, Adekunle Gold released his sixth studio album, “Fuji“, giving us hits like “Many People“, “Don Corleone“, “Bobo“, and “Coco Money“, and now, he has done something even extra with the release of “Fuji Xtra“.
This deluxe edition, arriving today, 8th May 2026, expands the original 15-track body of work with five new songs, including “Formation” with Olamide and “Blue Fire” featuring Simi. These additions are part of a broader, more personal chapter for the artist, who describes this season as one where his long-held dreams have finally become his reality.
In a newsletter shared with fans today, the singer explained that while these professional wins have been public, the most significant change has happened at home as he is now a father of two. “I’m now a father of two,” he shared, describing the “overwhelming tenderness” of welcoming his son. “Sometimes I’m holding him and looking at his sister and I genuinely lose track of everything else for a moment. The noise disappears. The pressure disappears. The world slows down.”

The “Fuji Xtra” era also coincides with his upcoming orchestra shows across North America, a concept he has developed over several years. He noted, “I remember 7 years ago before I released Afro Pop, I sat in Asa’s living room discussing the idea that I wanted to perform with an orchestra someday. I wanted to hear my songs differently with an orchestra.”
