Background

In late 2019, Wizkid released the singles "Joro" and "Ghetto Love", initially teased them as promotional singles for Made in Lagos. [8]

On 6 December 2019, Wizkid's label Starboy Entertainment released the EP Soundman Vol. 1 , centering mainly on Wizkid, and containing features from Chronixx, and a variety of other artists. It was cited as a marketing strategy to test the Afro-European market for Made in Lagos. [9]

Composition

Morgan Enos of The Recording Academy described Made In Lagos’ musical composition as a “mix of Afrobeats and R&B". [10] Stereogum described the album's aesthetic as “R&B-focused, dancehall-reminiscent” lending itself to WizKid’s “casual Auto-Tuned melodies, and a range of guests similarly thrive within the environment”, defining its beats as “meticulously complex”. [11] Pitchfork’s writer Joey Akan commented that the album showcases a “mid-tempo production”. [1]

Release and promotion

Made in Lagos was initially set to be released on October 15. [8] The album launch was later postponed until 30 October due to the Nigerian End SARS protests nationwide. [4]

Wizkid promoted Made in Lagos with his Made in Lagos Tour, which started on 10 September 2021, performing in New York City, Boston, Toronto, and Los Angeles. [7]

Singles

Wizkid released a collaboration with American singer, H.E.R., titled "Smile", on 16 July 2020 as the album's lead single. The song made its debut at number three in the first week of launch of the UK Afrobeats Singles Chart, and was featured on Barack Obama's 2020 summer playlist. [12] [13] On 17 September, Wizkid released the single "No Stress". [8]

"Essence" featuring Tems, was released as the album's fourth single on 9 April 2021. On 13 August 2021, a remix of the song, featuring Canadian singer Justin Bieber, was released. [14] The song became the highest-charting single on the Billboard Hot 100 by an African act, peaking at number nine. [15] [16] "Essence" was also the first Nigerian song in history to chart on the Billboard Hot 100 and the Billboard Global 200. [17] [18]

Made in Lagos received favorable reviews for its cohesive themes, particularly ruling out the flaws on Wizkid's previous works, Sounds from the Other Side and Soundman Vol. 1 . [23]

On Made in Lagos Wizkid promotes culture and globalisation, with the album also containing themes of love, focus, goodwill, gratitude and grace. He implements the use of live instrumentation on Made in Lagos and explores a range of genres. [27] Joey Akan of Pitchfork stated that "Wizkid balances the formula to unite home and abroad with big pop songs that can compete across cultures and an underlying theme that embraces his roots". [1] Giving it a four star review, Kate Hutchinson of The Guardian found the album sounds slinkier and sexy, while naming it Wizkid's most sophisticated record yet. [28]
