Wizkid Celebrates Valentine’s Day With ‘One Love’ Inspired By Bob Marley .
Inspired by Bob Marley, one of reggae’s most iconic figures, Wizkid is celebrating Valentine’s Day with this new song, One Love.
The song finds its footing in the honorarium of Marley’s legacy movie, “Bob Marley: One Love”, released yesterday, as well as the spirit of Valentine which captures the essence of his message of unity and love.
In Wizkid’s version, the song has a mysterious scale that goes against physical limits and raises Marley to a legendary position. In contrast to other tributes, this version honors Bob Marley not just as a man but also as a mythical figure who exists beyond the realm of mortals.
His raw hunch of authenticity conveys that deep sense of passion and sincerity that resonates with listeners on a profound level.
The way Wizkid pays tribute to the original song while incorporating his style and personality into the song is what makes it stand out. He creates a version that seems both creative and reverent by finding a careful balance between respect for Marley’s history and artistic creativity.
In a similar manner, the production stays true to the original’s rootsy vibe while incorporating modern elements of saxophone and backup vocals that give it a fresh feel.
For Big Wiz, this is a follow-up to his S2 EP released late last year and his debut for the year.
