Grammy-winning artist Ayo Balogun, popularly known as Wizkid, has released his highly anticipated new single, “Piece of My Heart,” the first track from his forthcoming album Morayo. The song, which dropped on October 18th, features American R&B star Brent Faiyaz, blending Afrobeats with R&B to explore themes of love and heartbreak.
Morayo, Wizkid’s sixth studio album, is dedicated to his late mother, and the artist has described it as his best work to date. Wizkid took to his X (formerly Twitter) account to express his excitement about the project, building up anticipation among fans worldwide. The album follows his recent success with the single “MMS,” a collaboration with Nigerian artist Asake.
Hours before the official release of “Piece of My Heart,” Wizkid teased fans with a preview of the track’s music video, set in a luxurious countryside mansion. The sneak peek heightened excitement as fans awaited the full release.
The arrival of “Piece of My Heart” coincides with new music from other prominent Nigerian artists, including Tiwa Savage’s “Forgiveness” and Ckay’s “Emotions,” making this an exciting time for Afrobeats and reggae enthusiasts.
