The 14-track album, released on June 16, 2023, hits No 1 in 14 Countries within 24 hours of release and solidified Asake’s status as one of the biggest afrobeats exports from Nigeria. It garnered massive success, with more than one billion streams across prominent digital streaming platforms.
Rollingstone, a popular entertainment news agency, ranked “Work of Art” as the best Nigerian album of 2023 and the second-best African album of 2023, just behind Amaarae’s “Fountain Baby” album.
FirstBank’s sponsorship of Asake’s concerts and the DecemberIssaVybe campaign is aimed at creating an awesome experience for family reunions, bonding, and entertainment during the December festive season. The bank is committed to supporting the arts and entertainment sector in the country, while also providing its customers and social media followers with the opportunity to experience their favourite acts live on stage.
The DecemberIssaVybe campaign also embraces the theme of homecoming, as it recognises Nigerians living in the diaspora who take joy in visiting their home country during the festive season and spending quality time with their families and friends. It aims to make their experience even more memorable by providing access to top-notch entertainment events.
