Wizkid to Release New Album

Wizkid and the name of his new album, Made In Lagos, are the top Twitter trends in Nigeria ahead of its launch on Thursday evening.
It’s the musician’s first album in three years, and has won praise from critics including the UK’s Guardian newspaper which called it “superbly crafted”. The Fader in the US called lead single No Stress a “bedroom banger”, and OkayAfrica described it as subtle, smooth and mellow.
Wizkid has been a vocal participant in protests against police brutality in Nigeria. Nigerian news site Pulse says this has also been reflected in the album’s artwork:Quote Message: [It] seems to have changed from one that appreciates landmarks and the beauty of Lagos to one that has grown weary of the struggles in Lagos and the larger Nigeria. Especially after recent happenings in Lagos. Props for creativity.”
