Wizkid has announced the release of his new single "Piece of My Heart," featuring American R&B singer Brent Faiyaz. This track is set to be part of Wizkid's highly anticipated sixth album, "Morayo".

Release Date and Events

While the initial announcement suggested an October 1, 2024 release, recent events indicate that the release may have been slightly delayed:

1. On September 29, 2024, Wizkid held a release party for the single at a Paris nightclub.
2. On October 2, 2024, Wizkid hosted a listening party in London, which was tagged as a "females only" event.

These events suggest that the single's release is imminent, if not already available.

Album Details

"Piece of My Heart" marks the beginning of the "Morayo" era, Wizkid's sixth album, which is a tribute to his late mother who passed away in 2023. Wizkid has described this upcoming album as his best work yet.

Previews and Teasers

During the London listening party, Wizkid previewed two new songs from the "Morayo" album. These tracks reportedly have strong Afrobeats elements, which has generated excitement among fans and observers.

Collaborations

This collaboration with Brent Faiyaz marks the American artist's second feature with a Nigerian musician, following his work with Tems on “Found”.

Fan Reactions

The announcement of the single and its exclusive release parties has generated mixed reactions from fans. While female fans expressed excitement about the London event, some male fans voiced disappointment at being excluded.

As the release of "Piece of My Heart" approaches, anticipation continues to build for both the single and the full "Morayo" album. Fans can expect a blend of Afrobeats, R&B, and potentially other genres in this new era of Wizkid's music.
