It is undeniable that new YBNL signee, Adekunle Gold is talented. His
two songs, ‘Sade’ and ‘Orente’ are doing quite well, and his future
in
the music industry looks even brighter.
However,
the lanky dude and his handlers have to pay urgent and special
attention to his stage performances which are nothing to write home
about.
Many fans have complained that he is usually boring on stage, and
sometimes acts as if he doesn’t really even want to be there. Being a
slow-tempo song, it is his performance of it that is supposed to give
the number a lift and the needed gingah.
He was at the 2015 All African Music Awards (AFRIMA), last week,
where he picked up the award for Revelation of the Year, and he also
performed, but many of the guests in attendance complained openly that
his performance was drab and lifeless.
Instead of performing with a live band, all he did was mime and barely moved his body to the music.
‘This performance is so boring and I’m so disappointed in him. No
doubt, he is talented, but he has a lot of work to do in terms of
carrying his fans along whenever he is on stage. If he continues this
way, people will easily get tired of him,’ a fan commented.
This was also the same scenario that played out at Gold’s performance
at the recently concluded Felabration where many fans complained that
his performance was colourless and dry.
