BEVERLY HILLS, December 12, (THEWILL) – It’s Wizkid’s world, we just live in it! The Star Boy is on a mission to take over the world and there is no stopping him.
His hit single, ‘Ojuelegba’ has just been listed as number 12 on Fader Magazine’s 107 Best Songs Of 2015.
Here is what they wrote about it: “Let’s get what we all already know out of the way: Drake hopped on this song from Nigerian artist Wizkid for a remix, generously making the song more famous (at least in America) than it might’ve been on its own in 2015. But let me state this clearly and definitively: the song never needed him. No matter the celebrity, you can’t improve on perfection, even if the Skepta verse that accompanied Drake’s on the remix was pretty great. No, “Ojuelegba” is best on its own, a graceful slice of rhythm that does not need cultural translation. Like Popcaan’s “Everything Nice,” the iconic global jam from last summer, it has a message of grace, thankfulness, and happy perseverance that resonates in every home. And that beat? It’s got a shoulder-shrugging momentum so joyful, how could it not have wound its way all over the world?”
Topping the list is “Where Are U Now” by Skrillex & Diplo featuring Justin Bieber. This is followed by Rihanna’s “Four Five Seconds” and songs like “Hotline Bling”, “Alright” and “Know Yourself”. See the full list here http://www.thefader.com/2015/12/08/best-songs-of-2015-list!
