Lojay ||||| For the average Nigerian, Sarz is not a new name. I can never forget being in secondary school and hearing Beat Of life ft. Wizkid for the first time in 2012. That is a sound that never leaves you and as I kept exploring his productions through the coming years, I grew a different understanding of what African music could be through his work. He has given us so much good music over the span of his career, be it under his own artist name or simply working as a producer for other artistes, you don't even realise he hasn’t given us an album until till this. While listening, I kept in mind the fact that Sarz enjoys presenting artistes in ways that might be new to their audiences and it's very evident in a song like Mademoiselle in which we see an unlikely spotlighting of artistes like Shallipoppi and ODUMODUBLVCK in a sexier environment, especially because they are artistes we are used to hearing take a more street approach to the African sound. Interlocking their verses with artistes like French-Congolese singer Theodora and Canadian R&B singer Zeina, balances out the energies within the track. After listening through the album, I can affirm without doubt that Sarz is the culture and hence, should be protected at all costs. As a producer who has always found ways to give back to the culture and branches connected to it, be it through his Sarz Academy; a non-profit with an objective to foster talent and encourage creativity and entrepreneurship, or his numerous collaborations with budding and fresh artistes, he understands what we need to hear and has given us a space to express who we are. ||||| Related: Album Reviews, Music Reactions, Afrobeats 2025, Amapiano 2025, DJ, Nigerian Music, Wizkid, Asake, Gunna, Burna Boy, Music Analysis, Music Commentary, Music Reviews, Culture Commentary, Afrofusion, Afrobeats DJ Mix 2025
