Wizkid’s “Morayo”—A Beautiful Tribute to His Mother & the Joy of New Beginnings

Wizkid’s latest album, Morayo, has finally dropped, and it’s nothing short of remarkable. The project, deeply personal, reflects the artist’s journey of healing and honoring his late mother, Jane Dolapo Balogun, who passed away last year. Morayo, meaning “I See Joy” in Yoruba, is a celebration of love, life, and cherished memories, blending heartfelt emotions with timeless music.

This marks Wizkid’s sixth studio album, and the collaborations are nothing short of stellar. Featuring talents like Asake, Brent Faiyaz, Jazmine Sullivan, Anaïse, and Taikola, the album is a melting pot of sounds and artistry. Tracks such as “Kese (Dance)” and “Piece of My Heart” featuring Brent Faiyaz have already set the tone, but Morayo promises even more magic.

Arriving three years after his previous album, More Love, Less Ego (2022), fans have wasted no time showering praise. Many are already hailing it as the “album of the year,” with even Ayra Starr giving it an enthusiastic “1000/10” review.

The buzz around Morayo is undeniable, and it’s poised to take over playlists everywhere. If you haven’t listened yet, you’re in for a treat!
