The singer and songwriter, Wizkid is working his way to dominating the charts and clubs by the end of the year just as he tactfully achieved with the release of ‘Manya’ late in 2017.
With his project, ”Made in Lagos” reportedly due before the end of the year, Wizkid dropped two singles in ‘Fever’ and ‘Master Groove’ as the first indicators on what to expect, and the reception to one of the songs points that another major hit has been recorded.

2018 has seen Wizkid score a number of hit records already, with two songs -‘Soco’ featuing Terri, Ceeza Milli and Spotless, and ‘Fake Love’ with Duncan Mighty credited to his name vying for the end of the year honours for ‘Song of the year’.
The songs however have all been released under the Starboy monicker and not Wizkid, making this his first official release of 2018 and he sticks to an identical template like his previous songs.
The song is produced by Blaq Jerzee, the man behind the hit single, ‘This Year’ by Jaywon, with the drums and kicks giving it a great vibe.
. ‘Fever’ is a song for everyone

You can never go wrong with a love record and Wizkid’s ‘Fever’ is a song for everyone, it is a lover’s anthem with plenty pick-up lines that every young Nigerian can relate with.
‘Fever’ relies heavily on its melody as Wizkid details a romantic relationship reassuring his love interest that ”Starboy dey for you.”
I love wizkid fever more than master groove. Both are 🔥. The producers did well. Love the 🎷 May change my mind tho I have only listened once.

A Wizkid song usually draws diverse opinions upon its release, while many are undecided if it is good enough to like or some choose to debate the lyrics, one thing that is however undeniable is his voice which makes up for any lapses on the record.
It has a natural flow that makes it appealing, even when he is not exactly saying anything new.
. It will always grow on you
If that Wizkid’s Fever turns out to be a jam weeks later then we’ve been jazzed.
Strong jazz

Wizkid songs always grow on people. Remember how people said Manya and Soco were trash and started vibing to them, and calling them bangers a week later? The same thing will happen with Fever.

Wizkid seems to have mastered the format of turning doubters to believers with his records. The number of those who are usually indifferent thin out in subsequent weeks, with many unable to explain the new found love for the record.
This is a pattern that has played out overtime and it is evident that the formula is at work yet again ahead on the record.
. The song is simple, both in production and lyrics, stripped of much noise and also quite danceable, making it fit into a playlist both for the lovers and the clubs.
