Award-winning Afrobeats star Kizz Daniel opens a new chapter in his career with the release of his highly anticipated single, ‘Police’—a vibrant, playful love anthem featuring global icon Angélique Kidjo and Nigerian soul singer Johnny Drille.
Blending modern Afrobeats, soul, and global influences, ‘Police’ sets the tone for Kizz Daniel’s upcoming sixth studio album, Uncle K, following the critically acclaimed Maverick in 2023. The song tells a humorous yet sincere love story about a man enchanted by a woman named Abena, whose unpredictable charm and clashing schedule keep him constantly on edge. As affection and timing never seem to align, he playfully calls for the police, claiming she has “stolen his heart.” Beneath the wit lies a heartfelt question: would she still love him if he had no money or if life wasn’t perfect?
‘Police’ thrives on a rich collaboration between Kizz Daniel, Kidjo—who delivers captivating vocals in Fon—and Johnny Drille, whose soulful performance adds emotional depth. The song is co-produced by MOG Beatz (Ghana), Blaise Beatz (Nigeria), and Johnny Drille, forming a trio of musical excellence that brings the song’s catchy yet thoughtful energy to life.
Since his breakout with ‘Woju’ in 2014, Kizz Daniel has become one of Afrobeats’ biggest global ambassadors. With over 4 billion streams, multiple chart-topping hits like ‘Buga’, ‘Cough (Odo)’, and ‘Nesesari’, and sold-out tours across Africa, North America, and Europe, his artistry continues to evolve with every release. His past albums, including New Era, No Bad Songz, and Barnabas, have won awards and critical acclaim, cementing his status in the industry.
Now available on all major streaming platforms, ‘Police’ is not just a fun listen—it’s a witty, multi-generational love story brought to life by three of Africa’s most compelling voices. With its infectious melody and sincere undertone, Kizz Daniel’s first single of the year proves that love songs can be both lighthearted and deeply meaningful.
