Kizz Daniel’s “TZA” (Thankz Alot) is an EP that reflects both his gratitude towards fans and his evolution as a major figure in the Afrobeat scene. Released five months after his previous album Maverick, the project celebrates a decade of Kizz Daniel’s success in the industry and captures his playful yet reflective style. Known for hits like “Buga,” Kizz Daniel continues his signature fusion of Afrobeat with catchy melodies, delivering music that resonates with both old and new fans.
The EP contains four tracks: “Twe Twe,” which became a hit late last year and received a remix featuring Davido in January; “Too Busy To Be Bae,” a light-hearted take on romantic disinterest; “Showa,” a groovy Afrobeat tune; and “Sooner,” which embodies themes of hope and perseverance. Kizz Daniel leverages the vibrant rhythms characteristic of his work while exploring different lyrical moods, from upbeat party vibes to more introspective notes.
In addition to the EP’s release, Kizz Daniel announced plans for a concert at OVO Arena Wembley in May and a summer tour across Europe, reflecting his growing international reach. The timing of TZA aligns with his commitment to staying connected with fans while keeping his music dynamic.
Rating and Final Thoughts
Kizz Daniel delivers a concise yet impactful offering with TZA, cementing his ability to balance catchy rhythms and meaningful content. The four-track format works well in maintaining engagement, though some might argue it leaves listeners wanting more depth. Nevertheless, his blend of Afrobeat grooves with heartfelt messages ensures the EP remains both enjoyable and memorable.
Rating:
I’d rate “TZA” a 4/5. While it serves as a heartfelt thank-you to his fanbase and maintains his characteristic charm, the brevity might leave some fans eager for a larger body of work. However, the quality of the tracks, particularly the collaboration with Davido, and the strategic placement of the EP ahead of his major concert showcase his savvy as both an artist and performer.
