Award-winning Nigerian pop superstar KIZZ DANIEL opens a bold new chapter in 2025 with ‘POLICE’ – a feel-good genre-blending romantic anthem that features legendary GRAMMY Award-winning global music legend Angélique Kidjo and Nigerian soul favourite Johnny Drille. As the first single from his highly anticipated Uncle K album, ‘Police’ delivers tongue-in-cheek charm and undeniable groove, telling the story of a man so captivated by love that he threatens to “call the police” over his partner’s irresistible allure. Originally crafted with Johnny Drille, and later elevated by Kidjo’s electrifying pan-African presence, the track fuses afrobeats, soul and infectious lyricism, with standout production from MOG Beatz, Blaise Beatz (Chris Brown, Wizkid, Davido), and Johnny Drille himself. The outcome is an infectious celebration of romance, humour, culture, and cross-generational collaboration.
This feel-good love song showcases three powerhouse artists at their most expressive and in sync, with Kizz Daniel delivering sharp storytelling and effortless swagger, Johnny Drille providing rich harmonies and emotional texture; and Angélique Kidjo injecting timeless global flavour, even sampling her iconic 1994 hit ‘Agolo’ in the chorus. It’s a track rooted in joy and cultural connectivity – light-hearted, infectious, and widely resonant. ‘Police’ not only reaffirms Kizz Daniel’s status as a master of afrobeats storytelling, but also hints at the sonic ambition behind Uncle K, his most globally minded project to date. The track perfectly sets the tone for Kizz Daniel in 2025 – it is an uplifting pan-African offering that is both forward-thinking and classic, personal and universal. It’s the sound of an icon evolving, once again
Kizz Daniel stepping into 2025 with renewed energy, fresh creative fire, and a legacy stronger than ever. Marking a decade at the top of afrobeats, 2024 was a landmark year – one that saw him dominate the charts, headline major festivals, and embark on a globally acclaimed ‘Vado at 10’ tour. From his record-breaking single ‘Twe Twe’ featuring Davido topping both the Official Nigeria Top 100 and the UK Official Afrobeats Chart, to the massive hits ’Showa’ and ‘Marhaba’, to the introspective ‘Pano Tano’ with Adekunle Gold, Kizz Daniel proved once again why he is one of the most consistent and innovative hitmakers in the game. His year also saw him release the chart-topping TZA EP for his fans, amassing half a billion global streams, and reinforcing his influence as a global music powerhouse.
