Afrobeats superstar , Kizz Daniel, has kicked off the rollout for his next album with the release of his latest single, “Police,” featuring six-time Grammy-winning icon Angelique Kidjo and Nigerian singer-songwriter , Johnny Drille.
This collaboration signals the beginning of a bold new chapter for Kizz Daniel, setting the tone for what promises to be a standout body of work. Police delivers upbeat, feel-good energy, built on infectious melodies, fluid rhythms, and masterful storytelling.
The track is powered by a top-tier production trio: Ghana’s MOG Beatz (renowned for work with Sarkodie, Mr Eazi, and King Promise), Nigeria’s Blaise Beatz (with credits for Chris Brown, Davido, and Simi), and Johnny Drille, who also lends his distinctive vocals to the song.
Together, they craft a unique fusion of Afrobeat, soul, and global sounds, resulting in a fresh, catchy, and emotionally resonant piece. With its bouncy rhythm and clever lyrics, Police emerges as a universal feel-good anthem.
Kidjo infuses it with her trademark brilliance, Drille adds emotional depth, and Kizz Daniel ties it all together with his signature charm and vocal finesse, delivering a cross-generational hit that resonates worldwide.
At its core, Police is a lighthearted, romantic, and witty tale of a couple navigating clashing schedules. Kizz Daniel humorously spins a narrative where he jokingly “calls the police” on his lover for being too captivating to resist. The song blends humor with heartfelt sentiment and artistic finesse, offering a playful yet meaningful take on love. The chemistry between the three artists results in a track that’s as engaging as it is memorable.
Police is now available for streaming across all major digital platforms.
Since debuting with his breakout hit Woju in 2014, Kizz Daniel has remained at the forefront of Afrobeats. His debut album New Era won Album of the Year at The Headies in 2016, and he received a Future Awards Africa nomination in 2017.
His 2018 sophomore project No Bad Songz, which included the smash hit Nesesari, debuted at #1 on the iTunes World Album Chart on its release day. Since then, he has delivered a series of acclaimed projects—King of Love, Barnabas, Maverick, and TZA—featuring standout tracks like Lie, Boys Are Bad, Rich Till I Die, Showa, Marhaba, and Twe Twe.
With over four billion global streams, two Shazam-topping singles, and sold-out shows across Africa, North America, and Europe, Kizz Daniel is a dominant force in the global Afrobeats movement. Backed by more than 25 million social media followers, his blend of captivating vocals, magnetic stage presence, and genre-spanning musicality—ranging from Nesesari to chart-toppers like Buga and fan-favorite Cough (Odo)—cements his place as one of the most dynamic entertainers of his generation.
After a landmark 2022 that saw him named Africa’s most streamed artist in the first half of the year, release the viral hit Buga, and perform at the FIFA World Cup opening ceremony alongside Diplo and Calvin Harris, Kizz Daniel continued his momentum into 2023. With the release of his fourth studio album Maverick, a headlining set at the Essence Festival, and a chart-topping collaboration with Becky G, last year only added to his growing legacy.
Now, with Police, Kizz Daniel opens yet another exciting chapter—this time, flanked by musical heavyweights and a sound that pushes boundaries while staying true to his roots.
