“’Made In Lagos’ is notable for how seamlessly it switches moods: tracks like ‘Smile’ and ‘Essence,’ featuring H.E.R. and rising Nigerian star Tems, feel like falling in love on a warm night, while “Mighty Wine” and “No Stress” evoke sweat drips and fogged up club windows.”
“…its lush production and thoughtful, romantic lyrics helping Wiz trace a path back to the bright, bustling Nigerian capital.”

“…Wizkid’s record sounds like the sorts of nights made impossible by the pandemic, like the condensation-filled air of a summer party. That Made in Lagos still feels hopeful when such gatherings remain unthinkable is a testament to Wizkid’s star power.

“On ‘Made In Lagos’, Wizkid made a record for the grown and sexy gang. And with the title paying tribute to his origins, rich and velvety production that ranges from jazz to classic Afrobeats and appearances from Burna Boy, Skepta, H.E.R, Tay Iwar, Tems, Damian Marley and many more, the breadth and inspiration of this expansive project saw him extend far beyond the Nigerian capital.”
