With Africa on My Sleeve
As far as I’m concerned, Wizkid is arguably the best Afro Pop ambassador we have. (By the way, we argue a lot about that here.) First off, consider that he’s had a sustained run of hits to follow a (by-now-undisputed) classic debut album…that came out over a decade ago! Throughout, he has remained consistent, on message and in lockstep with emerging sub-genres. Unsurprisingly, his new single, the oft-delayed “Joro”, has quickly become ubiquitous…in spite of a bordeline irksome one-word chorus. The guy has always had a knack for what it works and that flair has yet to betray him. Accordingly, the playlist is in line with the mood of the Starboy’s latest hit. Enjoy!
