In a report via the Esquire UK website, the award-winning artist shared insights about his upcoming album and his connection with Louis Vuitton’s men’s creative director, Pharrell Williams. Known for hits like “Essence” and “Ginger,” Wizkid revealed that his new album is named after his mother, Morayo.
“It’s very important for people to know where the source of my magic comes from. I’m African, I’m Nigerian; that’s my blood, that’s my DNA,” he explained. The album title, ‘Morayo’, is a Yoruba word meaning “I see joy.”
Describing the unreleased record as “very, very personal,” Wizkid added, “I hope it lifts spirits and spreads positive energy.” When asked about collaborations, he offered a philosophical response, “We’re meant to collaborate – that’s the essence of humans. We’re here to work together.”
