After months of anticipation, Wizkid has finally released his first single of 2024, “Piece of My Heart,” featuring American RnB star Brent Faiyaz. The track blends familiar RnB mid-tempo fusion, a sound Wizkid has mastered.
With heartfelt lyrics and captivating melodies, the song continues the smooth, soothing vibe from his “Made In Lagos” album. Produced by P2J and Dpat, the record showcases Wizkid and Brent Faiyaz singing about love and good times. One standout feature of the song is the beat switch midway through, adding a fresh twist to the track.
The song also samples iconic hits. It draws from Wu-Tang Clan’s 1994 single “Can It Be All So Simple” and Gladys Knight & The Pips’ cover of Barbra Streisand’s 1973 song “The Way We Were.” These elements add a nostalgic touch to the track while keeping it fresh and modern.
Before the release, Wizkid held pre-release parties in Paris and London, where he teased new songs from his upcoming sixth album, “Morayo”, which is set to drop on November 22, 2024. Fans who attended got a sneak peek of what’s to come and shared their excitement online.
As the countdown to the album continues, “Piece of My Heart” sets the tone for what promises to be another milestone in Wizkid’s career. Fans are eager to hear what else the Grammy-winning artist has in store for them with his new project.
This latest single, with its infectious rhythm and smooth vocals, will surely shape the mood for the much-anticipated “Morayo” album.
