How a shot of Tequila inspired my new album — Adekunle Gold

Nigerian Afrobeats superstar Adekunle Gold has opened up on how his new album entitled Tequila Ever After was inspired by a shot of Tequila.

In a recent chat on Apple Music 1, Adekunle Gold explained how he tasted the alcohol brand for the first time in 2022 and how it has inspired his recently released album.

Opening up on the inspiration, the father of one said, “I discovered tequila for the first time last year (2022)- yeah, I know. We had moved my Catch Me If You Can release that day, and I was so upset about it. I wanted the album to come out at a certain time, so I was just upset and obviously they knew I needed an antidote or something. They brought me a bottle of Patron and I had just one shot… I’m telling you, tequila makes everything better. My mood lifted so much and I’m like ‘sheesh!’. It felt so good.

I pay attention to things a lot and I’m like wait, this experience should not just happen like this without me talking about it. I wondered what if people listen to my music and this is how they feel? I made a song that day and it was a beautiful song and I’m like you know what, I’m going to carry on with this energy. I’m going to let people feel this way after one shot.”
