Others lean toward self reflection, gospel undertones, or Afro-pop melodies. Each collaborator also adds texture: Davido elevates boldness, Olamide brings street-rap credibility, Qing Madi adds soft vocal vulnerability, and Victony infuses melodic flexibility. Together, they expand Zlatan’s sound palette.

Furthermore, the rollout included a midnight release announcement across social media platforms. The album dropped under his Zanku Records imprint in partnership with distribution platforms.
