Nigerian singer Adekunle Gold has released "Fuji Orchestra (Live From The Royal Festival Hall, London, 2025)", a live album recorded during his orchestral performance at London’s Royal Festival Hall.

The set was captured in November 2025 as part of the EFG London Jazz Festival. It presents live versions of songs from Gold’s "Fuji" era and his wider catalogue.

For the performance, Gold was joined by the Guildhall Session Orchestra and his band, 79th Element. The arrangements combine Nigerian popular music with classical orchestration.

The live recordings rework familiar material while keeping Gold’s vocals and songwriting at the centre. The album extends the "Fuji" era and documents the London performance.
