Wizkid has solidified his place as a leading figure in Afrobeats, thanks to his remarkable sense of timing and strategy. Each of his releases contributes to a larger artistic vision currently focused on his anticipated album, Morayo.
He has just dropped a new single titled “Piece of My Heart,” featuring American R&B artist Brent Faiyaz.
This track, produced by P2J and Dpat, showcases Wizkid’s signature style as a romantic vocalist. Faiyaz kicks off the song with his smooth delivery, proclaiming he can take the listener anywhere they desire. Meanwhile, Wizkid dives more profoundly into the song’s themes, enhancing its sensuality. His poignant lines, such as, “And if I ever hurt you, I mean well, what I gotta do to make you know it’s all real?”, add to the song’s allure.
The production exudes a relaxed vibe thanks to the team’s experience. A notable moment transitions the beat midway, shifting from a soft drum foundation to a deeper R&B atmosphere, allowing both artists to showcase their adaptability and rapport.
The music video captures their synergy against a simple backdrop with models and vintage structures, creating a relaxed and sophisticated visual experience.
Wizkid continues to explore his creative boundaries, especially following the mixed reactions to his previous album, More Love, Less Ego. With high expectations for Morayo, “Piece of My Heart” serves to bridge the anticipation for his seventh album while aligning closely with his core artistic intentions at this stage of his career.
