Kizz Daniel’s ‘Owo Oluwa’ Finds Grace in Faith, Family and Loss

Kizz Daniel has given “Owo Oluwa” a deeper visual treatment with a music video that draws on faith, family and personal loss. Released on 30 September, the video explores themes of kindness, gratitude and divine favour.

“Owo Oluwa,” which translates to “The Hand of God,” focuses on divine favour, protection and gratitude. The song opens with a house-influenced sound before settling into an Afrobeats groove produced by Krizbeatz. Young Jonn contributes vocals, while Wave Choir provide the choral parts that give the record its praise-inspired feel. Rather than romance or nightlife, Kizz Daniel turns his attention to blessings and holding on to faith during uncertain times.

The song followed a difficult period for the singer. In September, Kizz Daniel revealed that he had taken a break from music after his mother died earlier in the year. Responding to a fan who linked the break to his album plans, he explained that he had stepped away because of his mother and needed to return to work to support the rest of his family. “Owo Oluwa” was later released as his first official single of 2026.

That experience gives the song a personal context, although Kizz Daniel has not said that every part of the record is about his mother. The song also takes on a personal dimension in the music video, which is dedicated to Kizz Daniel’s late parents and carries its theme of faith, grace and giving into a series of acts of kindness.

Directed by Perliks Definition and Asherkine, the video moves away from a typical performance setting. It follows people on Nigerian streets and uses acts of kindness to bring the song’s message to life. An aspiring fashion designer receives a sewing machine, while a commercial driver gets a motorised tricycle. The scenes show how a simple act of help can change someone’s circumstances.

“Owo Oluwa” also serves as the first major introduction to Kizz Daniel’s forthcoming album, Radio Gidi. Its spiritual direction offers an early glimpse into the project while retaining the Afrobeats sound that has shaped much of the singer’s career. The song reached No. 12 on the Official Afrobeats Chart in its first chart week, dated October 3.

For Kizz Daniel, “Owo Oluwa” marks a return to music shaped by faith, family and personal loss, while giving listeners an early look at the direction of Radio Gidi.

Victony’s ‘SLICK Remix’ Video Featuring Summer Walker and Don Toliver: Review

Published

Victony has released the official video for the SLICK remix, and he shot it in a locker room and an indoor pool. The video was uploaded at midnight on October 16 and lasted for 2 minutes 31 seconds. Only Victony and Summer Walker appeared on screen. Don Toliver was on the song but not in the visuals.

The video started in a bright locker room full of wooden lockers. Women in matching light blue bodysuits dance around, with blue and white striped towels thrown on the benches. Later, the settings shifts to a tiled pool with gold railings, where women in blue swimsuits and swim caps posed in the water.

Victony appeared at the poolside in a black jacket with thin white stripes on the front and sunglasses. He stood still against the blue wall while the swimmers stretched out beside him. In another scene, he wore a shiny black leather jacket with glossy trousers while singing and making little gestures with his hands.

Summer Walker appeared in the darkest scenes. She leaned on a railing in a glittery two-piece under a sheer outfit, with only black behind her. In another shot, she wore a rust-coloured one-shoulder gown with big hoop earrings and bangles. The light hit her from the side, so half of her body stayed in shadow.

The dancing in the locker room and at the poolside suited SLICK, an Afrobeats song made for the dance floor. Summer Walker’s scenes, lit low and dark, suited her calm R&B delivery. The song came out in July 2026 and stayed at number one on Nigeria’s Official Top 100 for three weeks, Victony’s first solo song to do that. It also spent 13 weeks at number one on the UK Official Afrobeats Chart and reached number 2 on Billboard’s US Afrobeats Songs chart.
