The ward-winning artist, Kizz Daniel, has kicked off his upcoming album with the release of the highly anticipated first single, ‘Police’, featuring legendary six-time Grammy winner, Angelique Kidjo and Johnny Drille.
Christian Agadibe, Chief Executive Officer of Artmatazz Media, a media company to the superstar, told the News Agency in Enugu on Friday.
Agadibe said the track marked the start of a fresh chapter for Kizz Daniel, setting the tone for his next era with an upbeat, feel-good track that was all about infectious melodies, smooth rhythms, and exceptional storytelling.
“Police” is produced by a powerful trio—Ghana’s MOG Beatz known for work with Sarkodie, Mr Eazi, King Promise, Nigeria’s Blaise Beatz (credits include Chris Brown, Davido, Simi), and Johnny Drille, who also lends his voice to the track.
The CEO said “together, they crafted a sound that blends modern Afrobeat, soul, and global influences into something truly infectious and easy to connect with.
“Driven by an addictive rhythm and witty lyrics, ‘Police’ stands out as a feel-good anthem meant to get people moving and smiling.”
He said Kidjo brought her Grammy-winning brilliance, Drille added emotion, while Kizz Daniel brought his signature flair, creating fun with multi-generational sound that resonates across borders.
“Police is a humorous lighthearted, yet romantic song about a couple with conflicting schedules which results in him calling the police over his lover’s irresistible charm.
“With witty lyrics and an engaging melody, the track offers fresh perspective on love, blending humor with exceptional artistry.”
The synergy between Kizz Daniel’s signature sound, Angelique Kidjo’s legendary charisma and global influence, and Johnny Drille’s velvet vocals makes this collaboration a must-listen.
“Police is available for streaming on all major digital streaming platforms,” he added.
Agadibe stressed that since bursting onto the scene with his cult-classic debut single ‘Woju’ in 2014, Kizz Daniel had continued to lead from the front to afrobeats music.
According to him, his debut album New Era was The Headies ‘Album of the Year’ in 2016, and he was nominated for The Future Awards Africa the following year.
“Driven by the massive hit track ‘Nesesari’, Kizz Daniel’s 2018 sophomore album No Bad Songz topped the iTunes World Album Chart on its first day of release.
“Since 2020, the Nigerian sensation has released four critically acclaimed projects, King Of Love, Barnabas, Maverick, and TZA, birthing essential Afropop tracks like ‘Boys Are Bad’, ‘Lie’, ‘Rich Till I Die’, ‘Showa’, ‘Marhaba’ and ‘Twe Twe’.
“With over four billion streams under his belt, two Shazam chart-topping singles, sold-out tours across Africa, North America, and Europe and over 25 million social media fans.
“Kizz Daniel is one of the leading figures at the forefront of representing Afrobeats on the world stage,” stressed.
Kizz Daniel, an artist and songwriter, was born on May 1, 1994 and rose to fame in 2014 with his debut hit single “Woju”.
