Nigerian singer-songwriter Adekunle Gold has secured a high-profile sync for his 2025 single “Obimo,” which appears in the Apple TV+ psychological thriller series Imperfect Women.
The track plays during a key scene in the series, which stars Elisabeth Moss, Kerry Washington, and Kate Mara as three lifelong friends whose bond is tested by a shocking murder and its aftermath. Created by Annie Weisman and based on Araminta Hall’s novel of the same name, the show explores themes of guilt, betrayal, and hidden truths among the women.
In the featured moment, “Obimo” underscores an intimate sequence set in an art studio. A male and female character share a vulnerable conversation about creativity, poetry, and personal stories, with the song’s smooth Afrobeats-infused melody and emotional lyrics providing a fitting backdrop to the unfolding dialogue.
“Obimo,” released in February 2025 as Adekunle Gold’s first single of the year, blends Afrobeats rhythms with amapiano and R&B elements. The title, translating roughly to “my heart” in Igbo, reflects the song’s romantic and introspective tone.
This placement marks another milestone for Afrobeats on global streaming platforms, introducing the track to Apple TV+’s international audience of premium drama viewers. Imperfect Women premiered earlier in 2026, with new episodes dropping weekly.
Adekunle Gold, known for his versatile catalog that spans heartfelt ballads and upbeat anthems, continues to expand his reach beyond music charts into film and television. “Obimo” is available on major streaming services, including Apple Music.
