Award-winning global Afrobeats superstar Kizz Daniel is having a whale of a time as he just came off 2 sold-out shows in London and Manchester in May alongside his chart-topping single “Twe Twe.” He is not taking breaks as he steps to the forefront with a new single “Double,” that sees the hitmaker celebrating his wife and reflecting on the joys of parenthood.
Inspired by the uber-famous children’s song “Baby Shark”, Kizz pours adulation on his wife with heartfelt lyrics that talk about his commitment to their marriage and everything that is involved with it. Backed by the groovy and bright guitar-driven backdrop provided by his longtime producer/collaborator AyZed, Kizz delivers a timeless piece that taps into our inner child and can resonate with both young and older fans.
“Double” is also accompanied by a playful music video, directed by acclaimed filmmaker TG Omori, who brings the light-heartedness of the song further to life with bright and playful motifs. We see Kizz Daniel and his wife, displaying their love, chemistry, and passion through artistic expression and child-friendly themes. The music video sees Kizz Daniel and TG Omori working their magic once again, with Omori bringing his signature style to the fore, crafting an aesthetically enchanting, and heart-warming visual experience.
