Kizz Daniel Launches New Era With Star-Studded Single “Police” Featuring Angelique Kidjo & Johnny Drille

Award-winning Nigerian artist Kizz Daniel sets the stage for his next musical chapter with the release of “Police,” the first single from his highly anticipated upcoming album. The vibrant new track features the legendary six-time Grammy winner Angelique Kidjo and soulful Nigerian singer-songwriter Johnny Drille. Marking a bold new beginning, “Police” showcases Kizz Daniel’s flair for crafting irresistibly catchy tunes, blending feel-good vibes with storytelling depth.

The production team behind “Police” brings a wealth of experience and international flavor. Ghana’s MOG Beatz (noted for his work with Sarkodie, Mr Eazi, and King Promise), Nigeria’s acclaimed Blaise Beatz (known for collaborations with Chris Brown, Davido, and Simi), and Johnny Drille himself all contribute to the track’s dynamic sound. Together, they deliver a seamless fusion of Afrobeat, soul, and global music influences, making the track an upbeat anthem designed to uplift and entertain.

“Police” playfully tells the tale of a romance disrupted by clashing schedules, prompting the protagonist to jokingly involve the authorities because of his partner’s irresistible charm. The song weaves humor and affection into a rhythmically rich, lyrically clever tune. With Angelique Kidjo’s legendary presence, Johnny Drille’s emotive vocals, and Kizz Daniel’s magnetic style, the result is a cross-generational, international collaboration that feels both timeless and modern.

Kizz Daniel’s journey began with his 2014 breakout hit “Woju,” and he has consistently pushed the boundaries of Afrobeats. His debut album New Era won Album of the Year at The Headies in 2016, and his sophomore effort No Bad Songz debuted at number one on the iTunes World Album Chart. Since then, he’s delivered a string of successful projects—including King of Love, Barnabas, Maverick, and TZA—featuring hits like “Boys Are Bad,” “Lie,” “RTID (Rich Till I Die),” and “Twe Twe.”

With over 4 billion global streams, two songs topping the Shazam charts, and sold-out performances across continents, Kizz Daniel continues to lead the charge for Afrobeats on a global scale. He’s built a massive fan base of over 25 million on social media, and his signature sound—blending Afrobeats, pop, and R&B—has produced chart-toppers like “Buga” and “Cough (Odo).”

Following a milestone-filled 2022, which included performing at the FIFA World Cup opening ceremony alongside Diplo and Calvin Harris and dropping the summer smash “Buga,” Kizz Daniel kept the momentum going into 2023. Highlights included the release of his fourth studio album Maverick, a headline slot at the Essence Festival, and a major collaboration with Becky G.

With “Police,” Kizz Daniel once again proves why he remains a dominant force in global music—delivering infectious melodies, cross-continental collaborations, and a sound that transcends borders.
