Afro-pop artist Kizz Daniel drops sun-soaked single, “Lie,” fusing infectious afrobeat rhythms with smooth R&B harmonies fitting snugly into a lush reggae groove. The kind of track that can be played on an endless loop, the lyrics spin a sweet narrative about being sincerely in love, the uplifting melody and relatable message left swirling in your mind long after the last notes play out.
Produced by Philkeys and Blaize Beats, “Lie” is a bouncy offering that paints a vivid picture of carefree summers, the warmth of Daniel’s brand of contemporary Afro-pop soaking into his gentle, dreamy vocals. With thoughtful songwriting that pays ode to a lover who feels irreplaceable, his natural talent for storytelling shining through brightly as his stunning voice leads us into a catchy chorus: “Feels like I have known you my whole life, feel like I need you in my life/nobody fit to tell me otherwise/everybody know say me I no dey lie.”
A versatile artist with a knack for blending modern sonic stylings with the strong foundation of his Nigerian roots, he first burst onto the afro-pop scene with single “Woju,” in 2016. Now, Kizz, also known as Oluwatobiloba Anidugbe, has grown leaps and bounds armed with the sharp freshness of his musicality.
With his latest album, King Of Love, establishing his expert ability to blend genres to craft infectious bangers, this single is surely the beginning of something special for the Nigerian talent.
