Asake's Historic 'M$NEY' Concert Film is Out Now on Spotify
Close to 2,000 Asake fans filled the historic venue for the special, invite-only event, including many of his top Spotify listeners. With a black-tie dress code, the fits were immaculate. Accompanied by a live orchestra, a 40-person choir, and renowned live band The Compozers, Asake sang hits from the project alongside four unreleased songs, in what marked the first time an Afrobeats artiste has headlined a venue of Theatre Royal Drury Lane's stature and heritage.
The release of ‘Asake - M$NEY Live in London (Spotify Live)’ is the latest in a run of exclusive live performance content available on Spotify, following other live performance films in recent months, including Bad Bunny in Tokyo, Olivia Rodrigo in Barcelona, and Skye Newman in London. The film is accompanied by an audio-only live album, ‘Asake - M$NEY Live in London (Spotify Live). ' The film and associated video content is exclusive to Spotify at launch.
In celebration of its release, Spotify held an exclusive premiere screening event at its recently opened Listening Lounge in central London.
"This performance was a reflection of everything ‘M$NEY’ represents - gratitude, growth, my spiritual and creative journey all in one. Everything flows from a place of gratitude to God and every moment that's shaped me, and I hope that comes through. ‘M$NEY’ was always meant to travel - when you feel good music, you feel it in your chest. That's what I wanted this album to be. Something that crosses every border. I start touring the album later this year but I always like to give my fans a few surprises which I was able to do with this performance. I’m glad we’re able to share it with fans worldwide." - Asake
A bold meditation on gratitude, prosperity, spirituality, and ambition, ‘M$NEY’ showcases Asake's signature fusion of melodic innovation and Afrobeats rhythm. Upon release, ‘M$NEY’ topped streaming charts in more than 19 countries, including Nigeria, and peaked at No. 8 in the United States. Following the album's success, Asake was ranked the No. 15 digital artiste globally by Kworb Data, joining a list that includes some of the world's biggest music stars.
