Wizkid has operated from the summit of the Nigerian music industry for over a decade. The Grammy winner has built a reputation as a superstar hitmaker hence his projects are judged by high expectations and standards.

His latest project 'Morayo' comes off the back of <a target="_self" class="editor-link" href="https://www.pulse.ng/entertainment/music/wizkids-kese-dance-sets-african-streaming-record-on-spotify/k5wxd74#:~:text=In%20another%20milestone%2C%20Wizkid's%20latest%20single%20has%20become%20the%20song,Faiyaz%20which%20garnered%201.016M.">record-breaking feats with the lead singles 'Piece of My Heart' and 'Kese (Dance)'</a> which further raised anticipation.

<h3>Here are 5 takeaways from Wizkid's 'Morayo'</h3>

1. Wizkid maintains his lush RnB &amp; Dancehall fusion Since releasing his <a target="_self" class="editor-link" href="https://www.pulse.ng/entertainment/music/11-milestones-accomplished-by-wizkids-made-in-lagos/p9jq54h">successful album 'Made In Lagos'</a> in 2020, Wizkid has embraced a lush R&amp;B and Dancehall fusion which he deploys to smooth melodies and laid-back delivery. He maintains this style on 'Morayo' with songs like 'POMH' feat Brent Faiyaz, 'Time', 'Break Me Down', and 'Bad For You' feat Jasmine Sullivan.

2. Variety On 'Morayo', Wizkid delivers varying styles which he carries the common denominator of his mid-tempo delivery. The album offers songs across Indigenous Nigerian Folk music fusion, R&amp;B, Afrobeats, and Dancehall. There's something for everyone depending on their preference.

3. Significant Afrobeats Elements Perhaps more than expected, Wizkid leaned more towards his Afrobeats side to deliver groovy records with songs like 'Karamo', 'Dance', and 'Bend' which nod to the homefront.

4. Stellar Production Across the 16 tracks, Wizkid lives up to his status as a superstar by assembling a team of A-list producers who deliver compelling production that is one of the album's major high points.

5. He pays homage to his late mother The album title honours Wizkid's late mom who he remembers and celebrates in some moments on the album. In the opening record 'Troubled Mind' he samples the live performance from King Wasiu Ayinde at his mother's funeral celebration. In the closer 'Pray', he again remembers his mom whom he says is watching over him.
