Kizz Daniel, Angelique Kidjo & Johnny Drille unite for 'Police'
Kizz Daniel Launches New Musical Era with “Police” Featuring Angelique Kidjo and Johnny Drille
Award-winning Nigerian star Kizz Daniel has officially kicked off the rollout of his upcoming album with the release of Police—a lively and captivating first single that features iconic Grammy winner Angelique Kidjo and soulful singer-songwriter Johnny Drille.
This track marks the beginning of a bold new chapter for Kizz Daniel, one defined by vibrant energy, compelling storytelling, and irresistible grooves.
Police brings together a stellar production lineup, including Ghanaian hitmaker MOG Beatz (known for his work with Sarkodie, Mr Eazi, and King Promise), Nigeria’s own Blaise Beatz (whose credits include Chris Brown, Davido, and Simi), and Johnny Drille, who also lends his smooth vocals to the track.
The result is a rich blend of Afrobeat, soul, and global influences that’s both contemporary and timeless.
The song delivers an infectious rhythm and playful narrative, transforming a romantic dilemma into a danceable anthem. With humor and charm, Police tells the story of a couple whose mismatched schedules leave the protagonist so enamored—and desperate—that he jokingly threatens to call the police over his lover’s unrelenting allure. The clever lyrics and light-hearted theme make it a refreshing take on modern love.
Angelique Kidjo adds her signature brilliance and global flair, while Johnny Drille infuses the track with emotional warmth. Kizz Daniel, known for his smooth delivery and catchy hooks, ties it all together with a performance that is both charismatic and fun. The synergy between the three artists creates a cross-generational, cross-cultural experience that feels both universal and deeply personal.
Police sets a strong tone for what’s to come from Kizz Daniel’s next album—offering fans a taste of something joyful, genre-blending, and refreshingly different.
Kizz Daniel: From ‘Woju’ to ‘Police’ — The Reign of a True Afrobeats Icon
Since captivating listeners with his breakout hit Woju in 2014, Kizz Daniel has established himself as a cornerstone of the Afrobeats movement.
With a decade of dominance under his belt, the Nigerian superstar continues to evolve and push boundaries—most recently with the release of his new single Police, featuring Grammy-winning legend Angelique Kidjo and soul sensation Johnny Drille.
Kizz Daniel’s ascent began with his debut album New Era, which won Album of the Year at The Headies in 2016. The following year, he earned a nomination at The Future Awards Africa, solidifying his place as one of the most promising talents on the continent.
By 2018, his sophomore album No Bad Songz, powered by the smash hit Nesesari, made an immediate impact—debuting atop the iTunes World Album Chart.
Since 2020, the singer-songwriter has dropped a string of critically acclaimed projects—King of Love, Barnabas, Maverick, and TZA—delivering beloved Afropop gems like Boys Are Bad, Lie, Rich Till I Die, Showa, Marhaba, and the infectious Twe Twe.
His consistency has earned him more than four billion streams, two global Shazam No. 1 singles, and sold-out tours across Africa, North America, and Europe. With over 25 million social media followers, Kizz Daniel has become one of Afrobeats’ most compelling global ambassadors.
A true showman, Kizz Daniel’s musical charm lies in his magnetic voice, emotionally resonant lyrics, and dynamic stage presence. From the timeless Nesesari to the viral anthem Buga and the heartfelt Cough (Odo), he masterfully fuses Afrobeats, pop, and R&B to create music that resonates across generations and cultures.
Following a landmark year in 2022—where he was crowned the most streamed artist in Africa (H1), dropped the biggest Afrobeats song of the summer (Buga), and performed at the FIFA World Cup opening ceremony alongside Diplo and Calvin Harris—2023 only elevated his status.
His Maverick album earned praise for its depth and artistry, while his headlining set at Essence Festival and a global collaboration with Becky G marked more major milestones.
Now in 2024, Kizz Daniel returns with Police—a lighthearted, romantic, and rhythmically rich track that showcases his ever-expanding artistry. With Police, he proves once again that he’s not just keeping up with Afrobeats—he’s leading the charge into its future.
