'Maverick' is a notice for Kizz Daniel to switch it up

<p>In 2022, Kizz Daniel delivered successive hits in 'Buga' and 'Cough' despite both tracks lacking in sophistry and musicality.</p>, <span>Kizz Daniel set to release fifth album 'Maverick'</span>, <h2>Through his choice of simplistic writing, familiar melodies, and lean production, both tracks, like the many in his discography, connected with listeners who love easily enjoyable music.</h2>, <p>Kizz Daniel is one artist whose evidence of his success has allowed him to ignore the criticism of the depthless nature of his music. And it's this disregard that shapes his latest fifth album ‘Maverick’.</p>, <p>While his last project ‘Barnabas’ is a stupendous Afropop concept that delivered memorable tracks that crystallized his hitmaker status, his follow-up project painfully rides on the unvaried stylism that has informed his recent success.</p>, <p>If Kizz Daniel intended to present himself as an artist who doesn't kowtow to social (industry/listeners) standards or expectations, he might have achieved this while simultaneously delivering an utterly disappointing album.</p>, <p>'Maverick' offers absolutely no artistic depth, variety, or excitement. The album flatlines all through its 53 mins run time and not even the brilliant opener 'Red or Green' or the previous hits in 'Buga' and 'Cough' offered upsides.</p>, <p>Kizz Daniel is a vastly talented artist whose ability to tap into another aspect of his creativity has enhanced consumers' connection to his art. His funny side slips into his music and enhances relativity through simple writing, rhythmic melody, and unvaried production. And it's this one-dimensional approach that underlines 'Maverick' thus subjecting listeners to a monotonous experience.</p>, <p>Kizz Daniel's superpower is his ability to share his thoughts through one-liners that can propel a song to hit status. However, he seems reluctant to find new ways of expressing these thoughts. He retains the same melodies and delivery while adopting very conservative production that doesn't elevate the records.</p>
