Review Of Wizkid’s Made In Lagos (12 Months Later) by Loudthoughts1: 4:36pm On Oct 12, 2021
On October 15, 2020, Ayodeji Ibrahim popularly known as Wizkid dropped the much-awaited album Made in Lagos. The release date of the album had been pushed back earlier. Fans of the afrobeat star had been anticipating what would be the biggest afrobeat album for close to three years since the announcement was first made in an interview back in 2017.
Upon release, the reception was lukewarm, particularly in Nigeria, the home of the Afrobeat legend. There was #endsars protests in Nigeria, Black Lives Matter in the United States of America, and Covid-19 lockdown. These chaotic situations in different parts of the world stifle people’s attention and its promotion nevertheless the album spread slowly to different parts of the world.
Wizkid made in Lagos
To core afrobeat fans in Nigeria, the album sounded new and not so familiar. Most of the tracks were slow, had a different melody and a different flow from the regular afrobeat sound they were used to.
Just like all great works of art, it takes time to appreciate the finesses and brilliance that went into the album. The same can be said of Made in Lagos. Core Afrobeat fans have come to realize the richness embedded in the album.
The album is versatile in its theme, lyrics, and sound. On tracks like “blessing”, “Gyrate” “Reckless” Wizkid recounts his blessings and praises the almighty for his blessings and the grace to run his race. On “mighty wine” “sweet one” wizkid sings about love in a melodic sensual manner. “Ginger” and “Roma” carry the regular afrobeats sound.
Made in Lagos was not made for only Lagos. It was made for the world and over the last few months, it has proved one thing — it will stand in the coming years as one of the pioneer afrobeat showcase to the world.
One of the biggest songs in the world right now is “essence”, a song off the album. A testament to how commercial the album has gotten over the months.
The album has witnessed commercial success unmatched by any other African act. The first African album to debut on the Spotify Global Album charts. So far it has spent 37 weeks on the world album, and it looks like it will stay there for much longer as more people in different parts of the world are discovering the gem for what it is.

I’m a huge fan of Big Wiz songs. Everytime I use Oriamo Freepods 3 to listen to Made in Lagos, “hear the difference “ See it. Feel it.
The difference on bass, lasting battery, clear voice in the call, in-ear or half in-ear 2 modes...and whatever you need!
