Wizkid unveils tracklist for new album ‘Morayo’

Wizkid, the Grammy-winning Nigerian singer, has unveiled the tracklist for his upcoming album ‘Morayo’.

The highly anticipated project, scheduled for November 22, is a tribute to Jane Dolapo Balogun, Wizkid’s late mother, who passed away in August 2023.

In the tracklist, released on Monday, the singer features artistes like Asake, Brent Faiyaz, Jazmine Sullivan, Anaïs, and Tiakola.

The album comprises 16 tracks including, ‘Troubled Mind’, ‘Karamo’, ‘Kese (Dance)’, ‘Bad Girl’, ‘Time’, ‘Piece of My Heart’, ‘Break Me Down’, ‘Bend’, and ‘A Million Blessings’.

Others are ‘Après Minuit’, ‘Bad for You’, ‘Soji’, ‘Don’t Care’, ‘Slow’, ‘Lose’, and ‘Pray’.

Earlier this year, Wizkid made it clear that ‘Morayo’ is not an Afrobeats project and urged fans of the genre to avoid downloading it.

Born Ayodeji Balogun, Wizkid gained prominence in 2011 when he released his debut album ‘Superstar’.

He has released four additional albums including, ‘Ayo’ in 2014, ‘Sound From The Other Side’ in 2017, ‘Made In Lagos’ in 2020, and ‘More Love, Less Ego’ in 2022.

The singer has also received numerous recognitions, including a Grammy Award in 2021 for his collaboration with Beyoncé on the hit song ‘Brown Skin Girl’.

In October, ‘Made in Lagos’ was recognised as the most-streamed Nigerian album on Apple Music.
