Speaking to Pulse magazine, TRESOR spoke on the inspiration behind ‘Folasade’ and admitted that the song’s name is a mix of a girl from Nigeria and his love for fashion icon, Sade. “I love the Nigerian female name Folasade. I am also a big fan of singer and fashion icon Sade, this song was inspired by the ‘70s and ‘80s era and the nightlife of vibrant African cities like Lagos and Kinshasa – they really made a way for most of the great pop culture moments happening today in music and fashion. This song was inspired by that and celebrates the era, the pride, the unapologetic youth and the fashion. We also celebrate the beauty of African women,” he said.
