WurlD makes a powerful return with Metal Hearts, his first project since the critically acclaimed Don’t Get Used to This (2023).
Blending the soul of Afrobeats with the sophistication of electronic and R&B sounds, WurlD has carved a lane entirely his own. Born Sadiq Onifade in Lagos, Nigeria, and later based in Atlanta, the singer, songwriter, and producer has spent the past decade redefining what contemporary African music can be, global, genre-fluid, and emotionally charged. From his breakout collaborations with Shizzi and Sarz to his critically acclaimed solo projects like Love Is Contagious and My WorlD With U, WurlD continues to push the boundaries of sound and storytelling.
This new release stands out for its vibrant, house influenced high-energy production ; a bold, sun-soaked sound that radiates warmth and movement.The EP also features Los Angeles–based electronic duo Echolocation on the track Faya, a collaboration that perfectly embodies the sonic shift WurlD explores throughout this project.
