I Worked On Wizkid's Coming Album -- Jidenna

Jidenna is presently in Nigeria for his show and took some time to speak with Pulse in an interesting interview where he spoke on an array of things from his music to Wizkid and the African music in general.

On Wizkid , Jidenna said:
“We both have the same process when we are in the studio; the way we come up with melodies, the song concepts and what not. So we did some work on each other’s albums, I don’t know what will happen on it, cause you never know. It’s all a matter of time.”

“But I love working with him. He like I, has a profound sense of duty to not just Nigeria , but the African continent. He was very focused, and his new album sounds like East Africa, West Africa, South Africa, North Africa, and even Central Africa. He has different sounds, and I love that about him.”

Speaking on the worldwide growth of the afrobeat genre, he said:

“It’s the beginning of a larger movement for
Nigeria , for Africa to move into the world’s spotlight, be respected, be more understood, be appreciated for what we bring. It’s starting with music and dance, but it’s gonna expand to everything. To me, that’s what this signifies; it’s the beginning of a turning point.”
