‘Essence’, a globally acclaimed song by Nigerian afrobeats superstar Wizkid featuring resonant songstress Tems, has emerged on the number one spot of ’50 Best Songs Of 2021’ by respected American magazine, Rolling Stone.
Wizkid has in past year made tremendous successes with the track ‘Essence’, which featured Tems and Canadian singer Justin Bieber on the remix. The new feat comes after Spotify listed the track among best pop songs of 2021.
The magazine platform described ‘Essence’ as a massive international hit that offered the best vision possible of our eternally shrinking world: at once local and global, intimate and universal.
Other songs on the list include; Taylor Swift’s ‘All Too Well (10 Minute Version)’, ‘Drivers License’ by Olivia Rodrigo, ‘Montero (Call Me By Your Name)’ by Lil Nas X, Lucy Dacus’ ‘VBS’ and other successful songs across the world.
The list of 2021’s best songs comprised a beautiful indie-pop celebration of queer love, a reggaeton star tucking into some sweet Eighties synths, a self-celebrating pop-rap smash that scandalized the American right, a Lorde track that sounds like it could’ve been a Nineties U.K. club hit, and unforgettable anthems that pushed the boundaries of K-pop, rock, and country, the magazine said.
