Simi Addresses Comparisons with Adekunle Gold and Teases Fifth Studio Album
Simisola Kosoko, widely known as Simi, recently spoke out about the persistent comparisons fans make between her and her husband, Adekunle Gold, following their collaborative single with Tiwa Savage. Simi, a leading figure in blending Afrobeats and Ballads in Africa, has captivated audiences with her exceptional three-octave soprano range and timeless love songs. Hits like “Duduke” and “Running” have firmly established her in the African music industry, a position further reinforced by her marriage to the talented singer-songwriter Adekunle Gold.
However, in a recent interview with African Folder, Simi expressed frustration with the continual comparisons of their careers. She dismissed these comparisons as “shallow,” emphasizing that they overlook the unique journeys and contributions of each artist.
Simi stressed that while their musical styles may vary, their roles as partners and parents within their family carry equal importance, urging fans not to overshadow these aspects with superficial comparisons. This stance underscores Simi’s dedication to authenticity and individuality, both in her music and personal life.
Looking ahead, Simi disclosed that she’s currently in the process of working on her fifth studio album. Focused on creating music that resonates with her and her devoted fanbase, Simi remains committed to her craft. As she continues to inspire and captivate audiences with her music, her unwavering commitment to staying true to herself ensures her enduring legacy as a prominent figure in the African music scene.
