Today marks a big day for the Nigerian superstar WizKid. The singer turns 30-years-old today and to commemorate the milestone, he's teamed up with H.E.R for his new single, "Smile." The Afrobeats star and the R&B singer find a common ground over thumping reggae basslines and summer love for their vibrant new collaboration. WizKid's powerful vocals shine as the intro kicks in before H.E.R.'s soft and breezy melodies add a softer texture to the record.
As usual, WizKid's been incredibly busy with loads of music ready to drop. The singer teamed up with Yung L on "Eve Bounce" remix and is set to drop a new collaboration with DJ Tunez titled, "Cool Me Down" in the days to come. Check out WizKid and H.E.R.'s new single below.
Quotable Lyrics
I can be your substance
It's easy when the love don't hide
Had to learn from mistakes
Company creates companions
