Ayra Starr & Wizkid’s “Gimme Dat” Honest Review
Let’s talk honestly.
When Ayra Starr and Wizkid dropped “Gimme Dat,” we all expected magic. And why not? Two of the most gifted voices in Afrobeats coming together on a track, that’s enough to make anyone sit up. So did it deliver?
Yes… and maybe a little no.
The Vibe? Sweet. Smooth. Easy on the ears.
“Gimme Dat” has pure vibes. The kind of song you want to play with the windows down or on a quiet night when you just want to feel good.
The production is clean, soft drums, mellow rhythm, a nice throwback sample from Wyclef’s “911,” and everything flows. Ayra’s voice? Beautiful as ever. Wiz? Smooth, mature, effortless.
You can hear the chemistry. They’re not trying too hard. It feels like two people are just enjoying each other’s energy. And that’s what makes it work.
But let’s be real, it played a little too safe.
For a collab this big, you kind of expect something more bold. More fire. More oomph. Instead, it stays calm, No doubt it’s a lovely song, but it doesn’t really hit you in the chest or stick in your head like you’d expect from these two.
It’s the type of track you enjoy while it’s on maybe even replay once or twice, but after a few days, it might fade into the background unless you’re a die-hard fan.
Still, it’s a win in its own way.
“Gimme Dat” is grown, it’s sexy, and it shows how much Ayra Starr has evolved. She’s no longer the rookie. She held her own beside Wizkid, and that alone deserves applause.
Wizkid, on the other hand, did what he always does, ride the beat, stay cool, and never lose his magic touch. But honestly, we’ve seen more daring sides of him in the past.
Conclusion
“Gimme Dat” isn’t a bad song, not even close. It’s just not explosive. It’s soft, sensual, and mature. The kind of song you grow to appreciate with time, not one that grabs you on first listen.
But if you’re in the mood for something chill and smooth, this is your jam.
Rating: 7.5/10
Smooth ride, but we expected a little more from such a powerful combo.
