Nigerian born American star, Jidenna, is presently in the country and was recently interviewed by Pulse.ng

The ‘Classic man’ crooner, during his exclusive interview, talked about the rise of Afrobeat, Wizkid and of course his own kind of sound.

On Wizkid, Jidenna spoke in glowing terms about the singer, confirming that he has indeed listened to Wizkid’s new album and it sure is very good.

He said:

“We both have the same process when we are in the studio; the way we come up with melodies, the song concepts and what not. So we did some work on each other’s albums, I don’t know what will happen on it, cause you never know. It’s all a matter of time.”

“But I love working with him. He like I, has a profound sense of duty to not just Nigeria, but the African continent. He was very focused, and his new album sounds like East Africa, West Africa, South Africa, North Africa, and even Central Africa. He has different sounds, and I love that about him.”
