One of Nigeria's most exciting and diverse highlife stars, Adekunle Gold has made a career out of left turns and new directions. In "Catch Me If You Can," the title track off his early 2022 album, he celebrates his penchant for keeping listeners on their toes.

"I decided, 'Let me tell them to catch me if they can.' I meant that literally," Gold told Billboard of the title. As the singer explained, Catch Me If You Can came out of the songwriting sessions for the highly anticipated Afro Pop Vol. 2. Some songs felt like part of a different project, and "Catch Me If You Can" is the summation of Gold's vision for the new album that emerged. "It's essential, and the summary of the album, plus the musicality," he added. 

In this episode of Press Play at Home, Gold adds a luxurious visual backdrop to his song. He stands beside a pool as he sings, lush greenery in the background, dressed in white Prada, sunglasses and headphones with gold chains around his neck.

Against a sun-soaked, palm tree-dotted blue sky, Gold paints a picture of easygoing glamour and hard-earned success — soaking up the rewards of all the years he spent betting on himself.

"Never seen a greater miracle than myself," he sings in the song's opening bars, delivering a lyrical message brimming with bravado but tempered by empathy and support for anyone finding success on their own terms. "Never stop listening to your heart / And never conform to fit anyone's narrative," he says towards the end. 

For Gold, that's a life motto, and his performance of "Catch Me If You Can" is a personal, inspirational celebration.

Lily Kincade traces the struggles of moving on from a short but impassioned fling in her latest single, "3 Months." She recognizes how irrational her feelings might be, but that doesn't stop the pain burning in her soul.

"I don't know why I'm still hung up/ On something that never made its way around the sun," Kincade sings in the pre-chorus. "Look how much damage three months can do/ It's almost September, what happened in June?"

In this episode of Press Play, the rising singer delivers a stripped-down performance of the introspective track. Kincade performs the song from her home studio, only using a keyboard to accompany her vocals. The simplistic arrangement allows the storyline of this heartbreaking tale to take center stage: "Maybe that's why I won't let us fade/ 'Cause we never made our way through the holidays."

Reflecting on her journey while writing "3 Months," Kincade revealed that the song's purpose was to help people realize that their feelings matter. "They're worthy of feeling. It doesn't matter if there's a reason. Feelings aren't logical, and that's a beautiful thing. After all, we must feel to heal," Kincade detailed to Showbiz CheatSheet.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour Has Officially Begun: Here's What Swifties Have To Say About It

During Ava Maybee's run on American Idol in 2020, judge Katy Perry told the singer she has "a cool Blondie-esque voice." This year, Maybee takes her Debbie Harry-inspired vocals to the next level with the release of her pop-rock single, "Puke."

In this episode of Press Play, Maybee chronicles her experience living with anxiety in this premiere live performance of "Puke." "It's getting dark in here/ And no one's here to flip the switch/ Am I just too f*cked up to fix?/ God, it makes me sick," Maybee sings in the track's chorus.

Maybee's songwriting is largely focused on her struggles with mental health; she believes that starting the conversation surrounding mental health normalizes self-expression and admitting that it's okay not to be okay. When she released "Puke," she shared on social media, "I hope this song makes you feel less alone. That’s the whole point of why we do this s— right?"

Outside of her musical career, Maybee is a philanthropist, serving as the Youth Ambassador at the Children's Hospital of Los Angeles and co-founding the UNICEF Young Ambassadors group. This June, Maybee will graduate from New York University's Clive Davis School of Music with a minor in child psychology.
