Finally, a new song called Money & Love has announced the November release date of Wizkid’s fifth studio album.
Wizkid, a global superstar from Nigeria, has officially announced the release date of his fifth studio album, More Love Less Ego, which is set for November 6. He released the song “Money & Love” after receiving the confirmation.
Remember that he had earlier shown off Money & Love on the official music video for Bad To Me? It is the first track of the soon-to-be-released More Love More Ego album, which was produced by his regular partner P2J.
The new Wizkid age has begun, and because I don’t know how to act at the moment, you’ll have to call me Gal Gadot. Nearly two years after releasing Made in Lagos, his best album to date, Wizkid is getting ready to release More Love Less Ego (#MLLE), and the streets are going crazy.
Here is all the hot tea I’ve been able to gather from those who attended the Grammy Award winner’s recent performance in London where he previewed songs from the album (Ayodeji, Lizzie’s body is not even cold yet).
There is an Ayra Starr feature that will chokehold everyone.
When Ayra Starr said, “E dey rush,” she wasn’t playing because, omo, her cup had transformed into a swimming pool. Ayra is reportedly on a hot track off of #MLLE, according to information reaching us from the late Queen Lizzie’s compound only hours after she released the remix to Bloody Samaritan with THEE Kelly Rowland.
Do you recall how Tems became a worldwide sensation thanks to Essence? Ayra Starr appears to be in her emi lo kan era.
This record probably will make you conceive.
Why do artists seem to want to make everyone pregnant? We first heard CKay’s Sad Romance, and now we’re hearing that #MLLE is jam-packed with music that makes babies. Cerelac is pricey, my dears. Be careful how you act this winter.
Beware of the song “Balance.” I understand why.
People who were fortunate enough to watch Wizkid perform have been raving about a song called Balance. Balance might become a hit before it even leaves Wizkid’s memory card, which is unusual for a track to do. Things are currently going well for Balance.
Wizkid’s song featuring Naira Marley? O por
Wizkid and Naira Marley
Rise up, Martian people, and stop wasting your master’s labor. I don’t know why this collaboration didn’t happen earlier, but Wizkid’s #MLLE is scheduled to feature the one and only Naira Marley. I already have this song at the top of my Detty December playlist, so you better believe it.
Rumor has it that the album will be released on October 29, 2022.
On the album, Travis Scott is featured.
It is hardly surprising that Travis Scott is on #MLLE considering Wizkid’s reputation for significant worldwide features. It’s likely the first of many international partnerships on the project, in my opinion.
The excellent and Grammy-nominated fourth album from Wizkid, the pioneer of Afrobeats, can make you forget that the suave singer excels at getting the party started with passionate, fast-paced music. With songs like “Caro,” “African Bad Gyal,” and “Pakurumo,” Wizkid has dance floor fire whereas the majority of Suited in Lagos is made for slow whines and chilling out. In reality, his 2011 debut, Superstar, is an upbeat electronic track with an African edge that was probably influenced by EDM at the time.

Wizkid attempts to break out of the recent beautiful and sensual rut he’s been in by tackling the dance sound that is beginning to characterize this era in African music: Amapiano, on his first release of 2022 as the lead artist. The song “Bad to Me” was produced by P2J (the executive producer of Made in Lagos and a go-to beat-maker for Afro-excellence for many stars). It starts off with a four-count that sounds a bit like Pharrell but soon transitions into electrifying percussion with shekere and deep drums. Bright keys add some romance to the song as Wizkid enters with his first stanza, honoring yet another awful gyal and her spinning figure: “This kind of body don dey cause a migraine,” he goes.
The gentle image Wizkid has been cultivating over the past few years is combined with this club-focused moment to create the instantly appealing “Bad to Me.” From the log drum to the call-and-response outro’s echo (a la Asake or “Finesse”), it is obvious that the Starboy team is aware of the trends in world music. The release of “Bad to Me” has sparked an internet discussion on the origins of South African style’s effect on Nigerian music, however many Afrobeats artists have been exploring Amapiano as well.
When a Davido fanatic attempted to discredit Wizkid’s work by claiming that it was the result of Davido’s forays into Amapiano (such as the remix of “Ke Star,” “Champion Sound,” and “Watawi” with South African star Focalistic), DJ Maphorisa, a major figure in the genre, referred them to his collaborations with Wizkid and Burna Boy with Kabza De Small on “Sponono Others have attempted to stake a claim for themselves and their favorite Nigerian artists’ works using Amapiano components after Maphorisa’s remarks. But rather than claiming ownership of the hybrids, Maphorisa’s reaction to the Davido fan seemed to promote a deeper understanding of them. “No one owns amapiano anyone can do it n win,” he wrote.
Wizkid’s MLLE (More Love Less Ego) Album Will Be Released On the 29th Of October, 2022.
