Why I decided to release my album in 2024- Korede Bello
After his recent birthday celebration and the release of his new single featuring Don Jazzy, Nigerian musician Korede Bello has announced that he has a new album in the works for 2024.
In an interview with Punch News, Korede Bello shed light on his decision to delay the album’s release until this year. The “God Win” crooner revealed that he intentionally waited for the leap year as it holds personal significance for him. According to Korede Bello, the album is not just about music but also serves as a personal gift and a platform for advocating mental health awareness.
He said, “I guess I was waiting for my birthday. Because I was on February 29 (a leap year), I always have to wait for four years to celebrate my birthday. The album was created around ‘Kore Day’, my birthday. It is a story of Kore’s Day—a birthday gift to myself. It is an intimate project created to feel like a therapy session, which is a subtle nod to the mental health advocacy I do”.
Korede Bello, the former Mavins artist known as a leap-year baby, has officially announced the release date for his highly anticipated upcoming album. Titled “Koreday,” the album is set to drop on March 22, 2024. With 18 tracks, Korede Bello describes this album as his “best body of work yet,” highlighting his artistic growth and evolution.
In addition to unveiling details about his album, Korede Bello has expressed his thoughts on the new generation of artists, indicating that he has a few things to say about them.
He said, “My only concern is that the younger the people in the industry get, the lower the quality of stories (songs) we will get to hear. What I mean is that artistes usually create art from their experiences; so, when a lot of sixteen-year-olds, for instance, get a shot at fame, they can only share from the limited scope of experiences they have”.
