The Ascension is the sixth studio album by Nigerian singer 2face Idibia. It was released on July 21, 2014, by Hypertek Digital and 960 Music Group, and serves as the follow-up to his fifth studio album Away and Beyond (2012).[2] The album features guest appearances from Machel Montano, Vector, Bridget Kelly, Rocksteady, Dammy Krane, Sir Victor Uwaifo, Iceberg Slim, Kim Almarcha, Shurwayne Winchester and Fally Ipupa.[3] It was produced by Leriq, Alton Berti, Bolji Beats, Dezay, Dnyce, Fabio Litto, Femdouble, GSol the Producer, Jay Sleek, Kodjo, Masterkraft and Rolly. The Ascension debuted at number 12 on the Billboard World Albums chart and received generally mixed reviews from music critics. 2face made history as the first Nigerian musician to debut an album on the aforementioned ranking.[4][5]

2face began recording the album in 2013. In a press release, 960 Music Group said the album would be released on July 21, 2014. The Ascension was eventually released in two versions: economy and premium. The premium version includes a 16-page insert that is available exclusively at Konga.com, and the economy version is available for digital download on Spinlet, iTunes and Spotify. The album's cover art was conceptualized and designed by Janne Kukka and Mole "Tobbie" Balogun.[7]

On July 9, 2014, 2face released a 30-second clip of all the songs on the album.[8][9] On July 19, he held the album's launch party at Escape in Victoria Island, Lagos. Guests in attendance included Olamide, Tiwa Savage, Niyola, Sasha P, Fade Ogunro, BOJ, Dammy Krane, Tola Odunsi, Ono Bello, Ehiz, Pucado, Jermaine Jackson, Peter Okoye, Onos O and Ruby. MTV Base, in conjunction with Industry Nite, hosted another launch party on July 23, 2014.[10]

The album's music is predominantly R&B and Afropop, but explores other musical styles such as soca, zouk and highlife. The Ascension consists of songs whose tempo is naturally fast or slow. 2face dedicated the electro house record "#Aproko" to social media critics. In "Jeje", he samples African China's "Mr. President" and pays homage to afrobeat of the 1970s. The songs "International Loving" and "Diaspora Woman" have elements of zouk. Soca rhythms are evident on "Boulay Boulay" and "Go". The slow tempo ballad "Hate What You Do To Me" has a sensitive theme. "Kiss of Life" is also a slow tempo ballad with soft lyrics.[11][12]

The Masterkraft-produced track "Ife Dinma" was released on November 6, 2013, as the album's lead single. It was initially released as a Tony Oneweek single, but surprisingly made the album. The accompanying music video for "Ife Dinma" was directed by Clarence Peters.[13] The album's second single, "Let Somebody Love You", was released on May 26, 2014. The song was produced by Femi Femdouble and features vocals by Bridget Kelly. Its music video was shot and directed in Lagos by Luke Biggins.[14] In April 2014, 2face and Bridget Kelly performed the song during Star Music Trek's visit to Markudi.[15]

The album's third single, "Go", was released on June 26, 2014, and features guest vocals by Trinidadian soca singer Machel Montano. In June 2014, both artists performed the song at the 18th annual St. Kitts Music Festival.[16] The music video for "Go" was released by 960 Music on December 5, 2014, and features cameo appearances from Seyi Shay and Niyola.[17] The album's fourth single, "Diaspora Woman", was released on October 23, 2014. Its music video was filmed in Dallas by Moe Musa. Ghanaian actress Juliet Ibrahim played 2face's love interest in the video.[18]

The album spawns singles like 'Let Somebody Love You' and 'Hate What You Do To Me'. It was an experimental album, one that saw a lot of 'continental' sounds, an attempt to appeal to an audience beyond the Nigerian space but somehow most of the songs were lethargic and at best mediocre, failing to make any necessary impact on the scene.

"Ascension" is the sixth studio album by 2face Idibia. It was released in the year 2014, by Hypertek Digital and 960 Music Group. The album is the follow-up to his fifth studio album, Away and Beyond.

Here in this bright Lagos afternoon, Peruzzi has the only available copy of his album stored away in a secure server. \u201CI no wan hear say anything leak. I dey fear all these leak stories. My album sef no even dey my phone.\u201D He pulls open a Macbook, inputs a complex password, and launches into downloading files. He\u2019s lighting up a blunt, a white shirt is hugging his frame, his nails are painted black, a stick of Benson & Hedges Gold cigarette is on the table, and he\u2019s got people all around him. Peruzzi tells me he\u2019s satisfied with the quality of his music, the trajectory of his growth, and his place in the industry. \u201CUnderground, I dey friendly, with every artist. Na for internet wey dey just dey think so,\u201D he says, passing the blunt. I agree. He picks up the cigarette and light, moving them closer to his mouth for engagement, and continues. He\u2019s having the best run of his career so far, he says. His record, \u2018Southy Love\u2019 featuring Nigerian singer, Fireboy DML, has been widely received. The bookings are flowing in. The numbers are rising. And that run of success has influenced his creative process for good. He\u2019s churning out records with \u201Cthat same \u2018Southy love\u2019 vibe.\u201D

Peruzzi\u2019s latest trick is a 20-track double-sided album titled Rum & Boogie. He tells me the new record is a reflection of two sides of his artistry. \u201CRum signifies you drowning or you trying to take away something that's bothering you. When you're going through something, you drink. Then you forget for that moment till the alcohol clears from your eyes,\u201D he says. And as for \u2018Boogie\u2019? It is what it is. Songs to get you to move.

2face Idibia, has revealed that he is working on three albums, which will all be released in 2013. In an interview with YNaija this week, he spoke on his upcoming marriage, the music industry and many more. 0852c4b9a8
