Jidenna continues to drop nothing but Afrobeat gems.
After being evicted from his Atlanta home a few months back, Jidenna chose to return to Africa, where he embarked on a journey of self-discovery. This transformative experience brought a fresh sense of energy and inspiration, reviving him as an artist. Over the past three weeks, fans have been treated to the results of this revitalization, with the release of four new Afrobeat-infused songs, including “Zodi.”
“Zodi” is built around an Afrobeats version of Busta Rhymes’ iconic “Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Can See” beat, which adds a nostalgic yet refreshing touch to Jidenna’s latest track. Featuring Mr. Eazi, the song explores the theme of a girl who doesn’t quite grasp the depth of her partner’s affection. True to its roots, “Zodi” is packed with infectious rhythms, catchy hooks, and vibrant Naija accents, all set against a backdrop of lively melodies that make it impossible not to move. The only thing that can beat a combination like that is the ’96 Bulls!
Jidenna became a new man after getting that first mosquito bite in Nigeria.
