Why this recording

Released on Asake's VEVO channel, the 47-minute film is directed by Becky Garner for Amelia Studios, with a Hot Cam multicam team, a Steadicam operator and a grade done at Harbor. The show took place on June 21, 2026, roughly a month after the album's May release, and its audio version came out on July 23 as M$NEY Live in London. The credits name the choir, Melodees from Heaven. The film's value lies in moving an afrobeats repertoire into a West End theatre, with orchestra and choir flanking The Compozers.

Live concert film of Asake at London’s Theatre Royal Drury Lane, in 2026, for the first live album concert film ever produced by Spotify. A figurehead of Nigeria’s new afrobeats scene, the artist performs his album « M$NEY » in full for the first time and premieres four new tracks. He is joined on stage by the collective The Compozers, a live choir and an orchestra placed on either side, before a black-tie audience of his top Spotify listeners. This polished capture, filmed in a theatrical setting, highlights the richness of the arrangements, the fervour of the choirs and the energy of Asake’s amapiano-afrobeats singing. The unprecedented format blends the solemnity of the venue with the intensity of the live. A full concert perfect for discovering, in 2026, one of Africa’s most talked-about artists, filmed at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane in London.
