Nigerian superstar Wizkid has officially begun the journey to his highly-anticipated seventh studio album, Morayo, with the release of his new single, “Piece of My Heart,” featuring American R&B sensation Brent Faiyaz. Produced by the dynamic duo P2J and Dpat, the track blends sensual Afrobeats rhythms with smooth R&B vocals, creating an irresistible soundscape that exemplifies Wizkid’s artistic growth and global appeal.
“Piece of My Heart” perfectly encapsulates the creative direction Wizkid has honed throughout his career, with each song and project contributing to a larger vision. This new single continues to solidify his position at the forefront of Afrobeats. The track features Brent Faiyaz’s assured vocals, where he teases the possibilities of love, singing “I could take you anywhere you wanna go.” Wizkid’s deeper, emotionally-charged verse adds tension to the song, with the standout line “And if I ever hurt you, I mean well, what I gotta do to make you know it’s all real?” heightening the song’s sensual appeal.
The production on “Piece of My Heart” is as smooth as it is inventive. An unexpected beat switch halfway through the song shifts the sound from a mellow drum base to a more brooding R&B atmosphere, allowing both Wizkid and Faiyaz to showcase their versatility and chemistry. This transition not only highlights the artistry behind the track but also keeps listeners engaged, making it an unforgettable experience.
Accompanying the single is a minimalist yet visually stunning music video. Set against a backdrop of antique buildings and featuring striking models, the visuals capture a laid-back and elegant aesthetic, enhancing the song’s sensual energy. Wizkid and Faiyaz’s chemistry is palpable on-screen, adding depth to the track’s theme of love and desire.
With Morayo on the horizon, Wizkid is once again digging deep into his creative arsenal, following the success of his previous album More Love, Less Ego. The new single sets the tone for what’s to come, showing a matured, introspective side of the artist while maintaining the infectious sounds that have earned him international recognition.
“Piece of My Heart” is available now on all major streaming platforms. As anticipation builds for Morayo, this single provides a tantalizing glimpse of what fans can expect from Wizkid’s next musical chapter.
