Nigerian Afropop star Wizkid celebrated his country's Independence Day yesterday by dropping not one but two new jams for his fans. The singles “Master Groove” and “Fever.”
“Master Groove” delivers a groovy blend of Latin and Afrocentric vibes. The production also benefits from a live horn section that comes in every now and then giving it that classic Afrobeat feel.
“Fever” follows similar vibes n terms of a sun-drenched island feel but still has a few more vibrant elements laced throughout. For this, WizKid blends English, pidgin English, and Ibo languages together along with an entrancing melody. It's hard not to get swept away with this one.
The Nigerian singer-songwriter also teams up with Spotify to take over their carefully curated 'African Heat' playlist, under their brand new Afro Hub, showcasing the importance and influence of African music throughout the world.
Both "Master Groove" and "Fever" serve as precursors to his upcoming 4th project 'Made In Lagos' and the act is also embarking on an exclusive 4-city show run in the US starting October 5th at The Strand Theatre in Providence, RI. Additional stops include The Skyway Theatre in Minneapolis, MN (10/6), Echostage in Washington, DC (10/7) and Ayva Centre in Houston, TX (10/12).
