It is sometimes daunting to describe excellence. That is how I feel having to describe Ginger by Wizkid and Burna Boy.
Ginger is inarguably the best song on Wizkid’s Made In Lagos album.
Thankfully, Wizkid and Burna Boy were generous enough to bless this song with a video. I still don’t get why in the age of YouTube, artists are refusing or failing to create videos for their songs.
Tiwa Savage, please, we are still looking forward to a video for Celia’s Song. That song is deserving of a world-class video. And then some more.
Following Wizkid’s musical career from Holla At Your Boy, he has never disappointed in terms of quality and concept for his videos. With Ginger, he maintains the standard. I must give plaudits to Meji Alabi for a job well done.
It is beautiful to see two modern greats of the current Nigerian music era come together on a song this good. Seeing them vacation together in Ghana paints a picture of true friendship and camaraderie.
I hope this means more quality projects are in the offing.
In the meantime, get gingered with Wizkid and Burna Boy.
