Prolific Nigerian artiste, Adekunle Gold, releases ‘It Is What It Is, the first track off his highly anticipated 4th studio album scheduled for release via Platoon this spring.

Written with a calm mentality in mind, the single speaks to life simply being what it is and having acceptance over that fact. Calling back to Gold’s wholesome spirit and native roots, the single is his continuation of creating music that speaks to the world.

The truth about freedom is it is only found in clarity of self. I believe this song is about letting yourself be free from every other voice but the one guiding you internally.
