Ade Fabola’s new single ‘Something Good’ ushers listeners into its comforting embrace, offering us bluesy acoustic pop laced with jazz and folk elements. Accompanied by soothing acoustic guitar melodies, Ade croons bittersweet lyrics and an infectious chorus which echoes the sentiment we can all relate to right now. Complete with nuanced production and dreamy harmonies, this track is effortlessly smooth.
Speaking of his new single, Ade explains:
“Times are pretty strange at the moment, it goes without saying really. A few months back, shortly after the first nationwide lockdown, I remember being out on my daily permitted walk and I was thinking about what had been on the news and social media leading up to that moment, and I was overwhelmed by just how different everything was – business places out of work, social outlets closed, people panic-buying in the shops – and on top of all these, the isolation blues got to me a little bit. All I could think was ‘man, we could use some good news right about now’, which eventually turned into the line ‘I could do with something good…’”
Hailing from Nigeria and now based in Manchester, Adeola “Ade” Fabola’s intricate finger-picking and feel-good vibe has drawn comparisons to Jack Johnson, Tracy Chapman and Nina Simone. His intrinsic aptitude for entertainment has been enthralling audiences at festivals, lounges and cafés alike, including a sold out show at Manchester’s Iconic Jazz club Matt & Phreds, where many legends have played.
