We’ve all been there trying to resist that one person who keeps showing up looking too fine for our peace of mind. Adekunle Gold channels this emotional chaos into “Temptation,” a highlife track about a man whose friend’s wife makes advances while her husband is away at war. The emotive delivery concludes with the friend’s safe return and his relief that he was not implicated in the temptation.
