LAGOS, NIGERIA – Building his reputation as one of the most exciting breakout names coming out of Nigeria, singer-songwriter WurlD releases his new track “Wayo”.
Following a serious entrance into the ether with his debut COLORS performance last week (125K+ views and climbing), WurlD now showcases on “Wayo” an exciting vocal finesse and the kind of innate musicality that has brought him early critical acclaim across the likes of THE FADER, VIBE and OKAYAFRICA.
The soft, lilting saxophone envelops the Afrocentric instrumental to create a track that feels timeless and international, yet very much stamped with WurlD’s signature.
