It’s New Music Friday, and Wizkid is back with a bang! The Nigerian superstar has released his highly anticipated album, Morayo, and fans can’t stop talking about it. Packed with exciting collaborations, soothing melodies, and thought-provoking lyrics, the album showcases why Wizkid remains a dominant force in the music industry.
With 16 tracks, Morayo is an ode to love, life, and the artiste’s journey, offering listeners a perfect blend of Afrobeat, Fuji, R&B, and global sounds.
One of the first things that stands out about Morayo is its star-studded lineup. The album features collaborations with Asake, Brent Faiyaz, Jazmine Sullivan, Anaïs, and Tiakola. These artists bring their unique flair, blending their styles seamlessly with Wizkid’s signature sound.

Fans of soulful R&B will instantly connect with “Bad For You” a duet with Jazmine Sullivan that feels intimate and vulnerable. Meanwhile, Asake’s energetic delivery on “Bad Girl” adds a street-smart edge to the project, blending perfectly with Wizkid’s smooth vocals.
From the opening track, Morayo feels like a journey. “Troubled Mind,” the intro song, sets a reflective tone with its laid-back beat and lyrics about cherishing life’s simple pleasures. The song begins with Fuji instrumentals and it’s easy to imagine listening to this track on a breezy evening, letting Wizkid’s soothing voice wash over you.
Then comes “Aprés Minuit” a soothing number featuring Tiakola, where Wizkid seamlessly fuses Afrobeats with French vocals. This collaboration is a testament to Wizkid’s ability to connect cultures through music. Tiakola’s voice feels like tasting fluffy red velvet cake after a long day of craving something sweet.

The production on Morayo is top-notch. Wizkid worked with some of the best producers, including P2J, P.Priime, and Marco Bernardis, to craft innovative and timeless beats. Tracks like “Piece of My Heart” and “Bad For You” are proof of this. On “Piece of My Heart,” Brent Faiyaz’s sultry vocals are paired with a minimalist beat, creating an intimate listening experience. When you think you have gotten the best of the beat, a smooth transition into the second half of the song leaves you mindblown with Brent showing you the best version of him.
But Morayo isn’t just about great beats and big names. It’s also deeply personal. The track, “A Million Blessings” is a heartfelt ballad that highlights Wizkid’s reflective side. Sung in Yoruba and English, the song talks about legacy and gratitude, with Wizkid expressing appreciation for the journey he’s been on. It’s moments like these that remind fans why Wizkid remains relatable despite his global fame.
Another standout track is “Slow,” where Anaïs Cardot joins Wizkid to explore the struggles of navigating relationships. The lyrics are raw, and the harmonies between the two artists are simply magical. Something is mesmerizing about how their voices blend, creating a song that feels both modern and timeless.

The album ends on a high note with “Pray,” a reflective and emotional song that ties the project together. Its instrumentation and heartfelt lyrics make it feel like a love letter to his mother and his journey. The artiste reminisces about his relationship with his late mother and he appreciates the opportunity to have felt that kind of love. It’s a perfect closer, leaving listeners with a sense of warmth and closure.
Morayo is a well-rounded album that offers something for everyone. Wizkid put a lot of thought into this project, from the collaborations to the production choices. While some tracks may require a second listen to fully appreciate, the overall experience is one of growth, experimentation, and mastery.
As fans celebrate this new chapter in Wizkid’s career, Morayo is bound to dominate the charts and playlists and spark conversations. Whether you’re a longtime fan or a newcomer to Wizkid’s music, this album is a must-listen.
It’s vibrant, heartfelt, special and unmistakably Wizkid. So, grab your headphones, hit play, and let Morayo take you on a musical journey this weekend. Don’t forget to let us know your favourite track. Happy New Music Friday!
