Afrobeats Hits

On the Brent Faiyaz-assisted “Piece of My Heart”, Nigerian superstar Wizkid offers up another lover’s anthem that marries a romantic R&B mood with a seductive, lilting Afrobeats rhythm. The first half sees both stars go full loverboy: “Nothing can tear us apart,” Faiyaz asserts, while Wizkid reveals both the strength and imperfections of his feelings: “And if I ever hurt you, I meant well/What I gotta do to make you know it’s all real?”. Yet it’s the second half where they reveal the challenges of juggling life and love, summarised in Wizkid’s admission: “What I need/What she wants/Hard to find the middle ground.” Hear “Piece of My Heart” on Afrobeats Hits, the home of today’s biggest and best tracks from the genre that blends the sounds of West African culture with everything from rap and dancehall to R&B and house.
