As anticipation builds for the release of his highly awaited album, ‘Morayo’, Nigerian superstar Wizkid has made a rebound with his energetic track titled, ‘Kese’ – Dance.
Produced by P2J, the song comes after his successful collaboration with American RnB vocalist Brent Faiyaz on the single ‘Piece of My Heart’.
Wizkid’s signature blend of catchy lyrics and rhythmic beats shines through as he croons, “Chale make we dance gbedu, the music e dey play gbedu, omo say we go dance gbedu.”
The latest single is touted as a dance-worthy summer anthem by music enthusiasts.
Since its release yesterday, the body of work has continued to garnered numbers of streaming across music charts, accumulating over 300,000 views on the 34-year-old artiste’s official YouTube channel. It has topped Apple Music Nigeria’s charts and debuted at number two on Spotify Nigeria, knocking off several other popular tracks on charts across the globe.
As the countdown to the seventh studio continues, Wizkid is cementing his position as one of Africa’s most influential and consistent musical talents.
In the past, it might have seemed improbable for a Nigerian artist to become the focal point for cross-genre icons—from reggae and R&B to grime. But in the 2020s, Afrobeats has become a global powerhouse, and Wizkid stands at the forefront of this creative wave.
Wizkid, who began recording music at a tender age, won Grammy Award for Best Music Video after featured on Beyoncé’s project ‘The Lion King: The Gift’ on the track titled, ‘Brown Skin Girl’ in 2019. The song reached number-one on the World Digital Song Sales chart.
