But where that record was full of swagger and sophistication, his first single of the new year is a full 180. \u201cYoga\u201d is a document of humility and simplicity, an effort to find balance after a year defined by unprecedented success but tinged with tragedy by a crowd crush that killed two fans during his December show at O2 Academy Brixton. \u201cThe song is about minding my business and guarding my peace so no one can disrupt it,\u201d the 28-year-old Lagosian scene leader confirms.<\/p>\n<p>            In keeping with its <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">theme<\/a>, the new song\u2019s sound is much more rooted in tradition and repetition than in the cosmopolitan sleekness of <i>Mr. Money<\/i>. Drum machines disappear, replaced by hand-pounded percussion; synths and saxes are subbed out for sweetly bowed strings and a backing choir; and Asake leaves Auto-Tuned melismas behind in favor of direct, from-the-heart refrains. \u201cI dey on my away hey \/ I dey maya \/ Make nobody kill my yoga,\u201d he sings, praying for peace with the sincerity of a dedicated 12 stepper.<\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<p>            Despite the earnestness of the track\u2019s message, \u201cYoga\u201d is still a lush affair, and Asake\u2019s love for textural decadence is reflected in its <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/boy_director\/?hl=en\">TG Omori<\/a>-directed visual treatment, a rush of colors provided by the gorgeous beachscapes of Dakar, Senegal.
