Asake released his sophomore album, “Work of Art,” on June 16, 2023, just under 10 months after his debut album, “Mr Money With The Vibe.”
The album has been met with mixed reviews, with some critics praising Asake’s continued innovation and others feeling that the album is a rehash of his debut.
One of the main criticisms of “Work of Art” is that it is too similar to “Mr Money With The Vibe.” The album features a similar blend of Afrobeats, amapiano, and fuji, and many of the songs on “Work of Art” could have easily been on “Mr Money With The Vibe.” This lack of originality has led some critics to feel that Asake is a “stuck creative” who is unable to move beyond his current sound.
However, there are also some positive reviews of “Work of Art.” Some critics have praised Asake’s vocals and songwriting, and they have noted that the album is full of catchy hooks and danceable beats. Additionally, some critics have argued that “Work of Art” is a more mature and personal album than “Mr Money With The Vibe.”
Ultimately, whether or not you enjoy “Work of Art” will depend on your expectations for the album. If you were hoping for a radical departure from Asake’s previous sound, you will likely be disappointed. However, if you are a fan of Asake’s music and you are looking for more of the same, then you will probably enjoy “Work of Art.”
Here Are some Of The Pros And Cons Of The Album:
Pros:
- Catchy hooks
- Danceable beats
- A more mature and personal sound
- Asake’s vocals and songwriting
Cons:
- Too similar to “Mr Money With The Vibe”
- Lack of originality.
Overall, “Work of Art” is a mixed bag. It is not a bad album, but it is not a great one either. It is a solid follow-up to “Mr Money With The Vibe,” but it does not offer anything significantly new or innovative. Fans of Asake’s music will probably enjoy “Work of Art,” but others may find it to be too similar to his previous work.
