Wizkid And Burna Boy Reunite In The Flirtatious ‘Ginger’ Video

The two Nigerian superstars reunite for the first time since 2013 on the ‘Made In Lagos’ standout. …

Nigerian pop stars Wizkid and Burna Boy’s last official collaboration was in 2013 on Burna Boy’s L.I.F.E album cut “Jahs Love Is True.” Since then, though, both have become international superstars, been nominated for Grammys, and released well-received albums here in the US, propagating their Afro-fusion style beyond their home country. Now, they’ve reunited on Wizkid’s new album, Made In Lagos, and today, they released the video for their collab, “Ginger.”

The video is relatively straightforward, featuring the two artists performing in a massive studio as models dance and pose in front of the camera. They also share a game of Oware — otherwise known as mancala — atop a classic automobile.

Both stars have seen their profiles rise in the US over the past few years, largely as a result of their collaborations with stars here who’ve been tapped into their sound. Wizkid worked with Drake on “One Dance” in 2016, with Wale on his Shine album in 2017, and with GoldLink on Diaspora in 2019. Meanwhile, Burna’s path was less conventional; a coincidental song title mixup in 2018 led to an explosion of popularity, giving him a platform from which to launch his albums African Giant and Twice As Tall.

Burna Boy is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

“Empatia” by Aurien & Jab Vix set the tone for an atmospheric new era

“Empatia,“ the stunning electronic debut of Aurien, in collaboration with Jab Vix, is the start of a new creative universe under Aurien’s newly launched imprint Château Bonheur Musique. The track feels like a doorway into a curated emotional space, built from atmosphere, storytelling, and immersive sound design.

“Empatia” is founded upon a contemporary electronic aesthetics that favors texture. The production is sleek and considered, offering up soft rhythmic pulses within roomy layers that breathe. Working with Jab Vix gives texture and dynamics to Aurien’s perspective and sets the sound for the song. It’s more about feeling the music than looking for peaks of high energy. It builds slowly and invites you to sit in the mood.

A highlight is the “Elegant Mix,” which takes the original and gives it a more subdued, slicker makeover. It allows the heart of the composition to come through more intimately, and this duality reinforces the idea behind Château Bonheur Musique as environment, experience, and feeling. “Empatia” is a debut statement and manifesto for the immersive, emotionally intelligent electronic music that works as effortlessly as it does in shared spaces. It’s a thoughtful direction for Aurien, where sound is not just heard, but lived in.
