Nigerian music artist Ayodeji Balogun, better known as Wizkid, has released his highly awaited sixth studio album, Morayo.
The album, published on Friday, November 22, by Starboy Entertainment and RCA Records, is yet another highlight in the singer’s storied legacy.
The album’s title, Morayo, which translates as “I see joy” in Yoruba, is a highly personal tribute to Wizkid’s late mother, Juliana Morayo Balogun, who died in August 2023.
Wizkid previously praised the emotional inspiration for the project as his best work yet, tweeting in July, “Best album I ever made!!” Now, listen! It’s only up from here!”
The 16-track album showcases Wizkid’s signature Afrobeat sound, interwoven with themes of loss, resilience, and joy. It includes an array of collaborations with both local and international stars:
- Piece of My Heart featuring Brent Faiyaz, a fan-favorite that has already climbed to No. 4 on the U.S. Afrobeats Songs chart.
- Bad Girl featuring Asake is another album highlight, following their Grammy-nominated collaboration MMS.
- Après Minuit featuring French star Tiakola and Bad For You with Jazmine Sullivan, bringing global appeal to the record.
Other tracks like Kese (Dance), Troubled Mind, and Pray round out the album with a mix of upbeat grooves and reflective melodies.
