Adekunle Gold Crowns Simi The Best Songwriter In The Music Industry

Afrobeats star Adekunle Gold has described his wife, Simi, as the finest songwriter in Nigeria’s music industry.

In a recent interview with Angela Yee, the award-winning singer said that despite collaborating with numerous gifted songwriters over the years, he believes Simi possesses a level of creativity and songwriting ability that sets her apart from her peers.

According to Adekunle Gold, Simi has a rare talent for composing several entirely different songs using the same instrumental beat, a skill he said he has not witnessed in any other artist.

He explained that while many musicians often settle on the first melody or lyrics that feel right, Simi consistently develops multiple versions before selecting the strongest one.

Adekunle Gold stated that it is not unusual for his wife to write up to 10 different songs on a single beat, with the final released version sometimes emerging as the fifth or later draft.

He cited Simi’s hit song Duduke as an example, revealing that she created about three distinct versions of the track before deciding on the one that eventually became a fan favorite.

The singer noted that Simi’s songwriting process and originality make her a truly exceptional talent, describing her artistic gift as one-of-a-kind in the Nigerian music scene.
