Chike releases third studio album ‘Son of Chike’
Chike is making sense of a rapidly changing world and his place within it on his new album �Son of Chike.�
�Son of God� marks Chike�s third studio album, following �The Brother�s Keeper� released in 2022. The 12-track album features previously released singles like the chart-topping �Egwu� with the late Mohbad and �Man Not God.� In his new album, Chike pays homage to his roots, reaffirms his identity as his father�s son, asks questions of love and skilfully experiments with the iconic highlife of his eastern Nigerian heritage.
Not one to restrict himself, Chike pulls from a wide palette to complement his silky RnB sound. Rapper Ladipoe ushers in the soulful opening track, �Unto You,� with a declaration of unwavering love. �One Day� features a collaboration with street-pop giant Olamide and rising act Amaeya for a rousing ode to perseverance. Through it all, Chike maintains his keen eye for human emotions. �Someone� recognises and accepts the anguish of unrequited love, while �Balance Am� makes the case for righting wrongs and seeking redemption.
Announcing the album earlier this month, Chike said,
#SonOfChike is from me to you. I had a good time making it and an even better time knowing that I was making it for you.
I think art should be a collage of experiences and feelings. I tried putting my feelings together and making some sense of it in hopes that you would feel something I had felt or experienced something I had experience
