Nigerian music sensation ZIK has unveiled his highly anticipated debut album, For The Times We’ve Lost, a vibrant collection of eight tracks that celebrate love, resilience, and joy. The album is now available on all global digital streaming platforms here.
From the beginning, ZIK has distinguished himself with a unique authenticity that has positioned him as a prominent figure in the next generation of Afropop innovators. Building on his debut single ‘sdftl,’ ZIK quickly made waves with his first EP, Odyssey, and continued to gain acclaim with the Amapiano-influenced ‘Lagbaja.’ His dynamic energy was further showcased in the hit single ‘Electric Vibe’ earlier this year.
Behind the scenes, ZIK was laying the groundwork for his next big project, releasing “No Bad Energy,” a 3-track EP featuring the title track and ‘Too Correct.’ The positive reception of these tracks set the stage for ZIK’s new album, For The Times We’ve Lost.
The debut album marks a significant evolution in ZIK’s artistry. With tracks like ‘HIGH TENSION,’ the album opens with high-energy rhythms and progresses through an emotional journey, including the motivational closer ‘No Bad Energy.’ Among the album’s standout tracks are ‘Electric Love,’ ‘ALL THE GIRLS,’ and ‘Big Propeller,’ each reflecting ZIK’s exuberant style and introspective lyrics.
‘ALL THE GIRLS’ stands out with its catchy hook and celebration of life’s simple pleasures, while ‘Big Propeller’ exudes confidence with its upbeat production. The track ‘Jealousy’ showcases ZIK’s intimate side, with evocative vocals exploring the nuances of love. Additionally, collaborations with Juma Mufasa and Mister Kay on tracks like ‘Lovina’ and ‘Omo’ further enhance the album’s appeal.
