I was listening Adekunle Gold's track "Shade" and realized it has significant similarities to One Direction's "Story of my Life". I feel its a sound-alike.

A sound-alike is a recording intended to imitate the
sound of a popular record, the style of a popular
recording artist, or a current musical trend; the term also
refers to the artists who perform on such recordings. In
the voice-over world, it may also refer to those who
recreate the voice and vocal mannerisms of a given
celebrity's vocal performance.

I tweeted at Adekunle Gold, but he hasn't responded yet.

See tweet:
@adekunleGOLD is "Shade" a sound-alike to @onedirection's "story of my life"? Good song! #JustCurious

Have you heard both songs? If yes, what's your opinion?

Thought so too when I heard "Sade" but I came across an interview with "AG" where he said "Sade" was intended as a cover for "Story Of My Life", so that explains it.

On a side note, 1D rocks.
