Starboy , RcA records act , Kayode Ayodeji Balogun
Aka , Wizkid dropped his highly anticipated album earlier today , And as
his number one fan ,I have already bought mine ,

Now there has
been much hype and rumors about the album that it sounds too foreign and
un-African , I can personally tell you that this is not true, . WizKid
in his pure musical genius , blends a lot of sounds from every part of
the music world and delivers it on this masterpiece.

1 . Sweet love (prod by sarz)
: There is great musical chemistry between wizkid and Ace producer
SARZ. This is also demonstrated in this track, it is a pure afrobeat
track , much like a song by Afrobeat legend and wizkid mentor ; The late
Fela Anikulapo Kuti . Pure Afrobeats.

2. Come closer ft Drake
: I’m sure this song is not new to anybody here. , the video sparked a
lot of controversy as Drake did not appear in it, also Produced by
SARZ.

3. Naughty ride ft Major Lazer : Wizkid once again
showing his musical prowess and connection by teaming up with
international music production team major Lazer, who are also known for
producing a lot of hit songs globally, it is a relaxed, dancehall, slow
song just like come closer.

4.African Bad Gyal ft Chris brown
: Grammy award winning artiste and pal of WizKid , Chris brown also
known as Chris breezy, comes through for wizkid and they both deliver
this monster summer hit. Its sure gonna rock the Airwaves globally. Also
produced by SARZ

5. Daddy yo ft Efya : I’m sure everybody knows about this dancehall hit

6. One for me ft Ty Dollar sign
: Starboy teams up with American act Type Dollar sign and drop this
relaxing Afro hip hop jam. It is produced by American producer and hit
maker ;DJ Mustard.

7. picture perfect. : Wizkid expresses himself in this slow love song. It has this Afropop background sound to it . Dope jam !

8. Nobody : personally one of my best songs on the album, Its slow, relaxing and a very nice laid back songs by wizkid .

9. Sexy: Pure afrobeats song, WizKid once again using the fela sound and tone, surely going to be a hit. It is produced by SPELLZ

10. All for love ft Bucie
: WizKid teams up with South African house music Diva -Bucie, on this
wonderful south African house music genre, surely going to be a hit ,
especially in Africa.

11. Dirty whine ft Type Dollar sign: This song produced by SARZ is a jam, Although I personally think the both of them could have done better.

12: Gbese ft Trey songz : R&B genius Trey Song joins Starboy on this Del B produced jam. It has quite a catchy tone.

As we can see, the album has no local Nigerian Artiste on it, This
shows WizKids international recognition and also displays his aim of
selling African music to the world
