Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun popularly known as Wizkid has released Kese (Dance) ahead of his anticipated album release scheduled for November 22, 2024.
News About Nigeria gathered that ‘Kese (Dance)’ was a sequel to ‘Piece of My Heart’ featuring Brent Faiyaz that kicked off the anticipation for the ‘Morayo’ album a few weeks ago.
The new single is familiar laid-back delivery and danceable melodies even as he restates his status as a hitmaker who has for decade shaped the Afrobeats dance floor.
The catchy song was rated 5/10 by the popular influencer Daniel Regha.
He said “Wizkid’s “Kese (Dance)” is one of the best songs he’s released in years; Lyrically it’s not a masterpiece, far from it, but it’s something different & with less recycled lyrics. He should’ve gone a little harder in the first verse, while the “Cana” reference in the second verse is completely unnecessary. That said it’s a song one can easily gravitate towards mostly due to its catchy sound/beats. A solid 5/10. No offense.”
Wizkid is a Nigerian singer and songwriter born in the Ojuelegba suburb of Surulere, Lagos. Wizkid is a voice in the emerging Afrobeats movement.
His music is a blend of Afrobeats, afropop, R&B, afrobeat, reggae, dancehall, and pop. He began recording music at the age of 11 and released a collaborative album with the Glorious Five, a group he and a couple of his church friends formed. In 2009, Wizkid signed a record deal with Banky W’s Empire Mates Entertainment (E.M.E).
He rose to the limelight after releasing “Holla at Your Boy”, the lead single from his debut studio album, Superstar (2011), which also spawned the singles “Tease Me/Bad Guys” and “Don’t Dull”.
