Wizkid Unveils Full Tracklist for Upcoming Album Morayo Featuring Asake
Nigerian music icon Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun, better known as Wizkid, has revealed the tracklist for his eagerly awaited sixth studio album, Morayo. This album, set to release on November 22, 2024, holds a special place in Wizkid’s heart as a tribute to his late mother, Morayo, who passed away in 2023. The project reflects his personal journey, blending emotions, family ties, and artistic growth.
Wizkid’s upcoming album continues his legacy of creating music that resonates globally. Following his 2022 release, More Love, Less Ego, Morayo promises a mix of heartfelt themes and vibrant sounds, highlighting his evolution as a trailblazing artist in Afrobeat and beyond. Fans are particularly excited about his collaboration with rising neo-Fuji star Asake, who is among the stellar lineup of guest artists featured on the album.
The 16-track album showcases contributions from an impressive array of international talents, including American R&B singer Jazmine Sullivan, French rap sensation Tiakola, soulful vocalist Brent Faiyaz, and emerging artist Anaïs. This diverse mix of collaborators ensures Morayo captures a unique blend of Afrobeat, R&B, and global influences, pushing the boundaries of Wizkid’s artistry.
Ahead of the album’s release, Wizkid has already teased fans with two standout singles. Piece of My Heart, a soulful R&B duet with Brent Faiyaz, showcases his ability to craft deeply emotional songs. On the other hand, Kese (Dance), an infectious party anthem, has quickly become a favorite for its upbeat tempo and danceable rhythm. Both tracks have heightened anticipation for what’s to come on the full album.
Asake’s involvement in the project has particularly thrilled fans of Afrobeat, as the neo-Fuji sensation continues to make waves in the Nigerian music scene. His collaboration with Wizkid on this album is expected to deliver a fresh and innovative sound that reflects the vibrant energy of contemporary Nigerian music.
Wizkid officially unveiled the tracklist on November 18, 2024, offering a glimpse into the musical journey he’s about to share. The album is not just a testament to his unmatched talent but also a heartfelt dedication to his late mother, whose influence and memory inspire this work.
With its rich lineup of features and Wizkid’s signature ability to blend Afrobeat with global sounds, Morayo is poised to be a groundbreaking release that resonates with fans worldwide. As November 22 approaches, the excitement continues to build, with fans eager to experience this deeply personal and sonically diverse album.
