A Prince Made In Lagos
Made in Lagos is a technically brilliant, vibrant project that is full of confidence, conviction, style, and flair and obviously is rooted deep into the African culture. WizKid shows his eagerness to create music that is far more attractive beyond the commercial scale, not lacking in performance and delivery. Another quality you'll come across is the cross-cultural nature of the music produced, making an impression not only on his afrobeat audience but on pop, RnB, and reggae consumers, a skill that is flawlessly executed.
The 16 track album is brimming with songs that are authentic with interwoven styles of traditional and modern production. The features are one of the noteworthy aspects of Made In Lagos, the Lagos starboy features the likes of Burnaboy, Damian Marley, Skepta, H.E.R, Ella Mai, Projexx, Tay Iwar, Tems, and Terri, did these artists do WizKid any justice? yes, their performances on the features are distinctive of their individual styles, setting WizKid apart as a force to be reckoned with across all genres of music.
WizKid expresses himself on songs like Reckless where he speaks on the sacrifices taken to be where he is as an artist eating his youth ''Showered in blessings, now my cup’s runnin' over'' he flexes, Mighty Wine and No Stress, are songs that are quite tuneful with quality that is greatly improved by WizKid's ability to balance his vocals and deliver beautiful lyrics. A notable detail about Made In Lagos is that WizKid has improved and upscaled his delivery skills, the flows are precise and sure and again the content is not repetitive it grows with each song.
How does one write a review when the entire album is a plethora of hits? Lol. I want to touch on the dominance of Wizkid on songs like Sweet One, his attractive vocal tone on Smile, the fact that Grace following after Gyrate is genius. Essence and Blessed have a powerful musical accompaniment that complements the tracks unravelling a benign and affectionate WizKid,
Made In Lagos is high quality, uplifting, addicitive and perfect.
