Rather than chasing loud, high-tempo sounds, Wizkid opts for a calm and refined approach on “2 Sugar,” an elegant collaboration with Nigerian singer Ayra Starr.
Featured as the fourth track on his fifth studio album, More Love, Less Ego, the song seemed released on November 10, 2022, and quickly became one of the project’s standout fan favorites.
Produced by acclaimed British-Nigerian hitmaker P2J (Richard Isong), the record glides effortlessly through Afro-fusion, Afrosounds, and contemporary R&B influences.
Delicate guitar melodies, subtle saxophone accents, and polished percussion create a soothing backdrop that allows both artists to showcase their distinctive vocal styles without overwhelming the listener.
Instead of focusing solely on romance, “2 Sugar” delivers a message about protecting inner peace and avoiding unnecessary negativity. Ayra Starr leads the memorable chorus with a bold declaration against toxic energy, while Wizkid reflects on choosing a quiet lifestyle, staying focused, and letting his achievements speak louder than words.
The effortless chemistry between Wizkid and Ayra Starr, combined with its mellow production and relatable lyrics, makes “2 Sugar” a refreshing addition to More Love, Less Ego.
Whether you’re in the mood to unwind or enjoy smooth Afrobeats with substance, this record is one you’ll keep coming back to.
