Since the original Starboy first revealed plans of his fourth studio album, with the hashtag #MadeInLagos appearing as early as February 2018, multiple hit singles, shows, and awards, a label compilation album with his new signees, and even several collaborative merch drops, all went by with no album in sight. The album that has been ‘Status: Imminent’ for nearly three years now, finally arrived on October 29, 2020. Over a week after its release, it still feels surreal. This time exhibiting confidence, maturity and sophistication, ‘Made In Lagos’ is coloured by live instruments and a worldly selection of featured artists, making a successful amalgamation of the afropop sound Wizkid popularised worldwide. His second feature-length release under Sony Music Entertainment’s RCA Records, ‘Made In Lagos’ is a concurrent and refined follow up to his then-experimental ‘Sounds From The Other Side’. ‘Made In Lagos’ is Wizkid’s fourth studio album in his decade-long reign at the top of African pop’s totem pole.
