If there’s one thing that can completely reframe a song, or even shoot it to the mainstream to become a hit, it’s a remix.
But not just any remix, it is the kind where the featured artiste doesn’t just pull up to deliver lazy lines but brings out his/her best. It is the type of song remixes that make you wonder who the track really belongs to.
In 2024, we’ve been treated to some true musical collaborations, where features turned average bangers into unstoppable anthems. It’s been a year of unexpected chemistry, as artists we never thought we’d hear together delivered hits records.
Let’s dig into some remakes of songs that truly took over the original and the guest verses that gave the originals a brand-new feel, and the collaborations that left us with no choice but to keep them on repeat.
Davido On “Twe Twe”
Kizz Daniel’s “Twe Twe” was already a chart-topper with its infectious beat and catchy hook, but Davido’s addition to the remix took it to a whole new level.
While Kizz Daniel’s original verses offered great lines, Davido layers in relatable content that elevates the song’s narrative. This collaboration highlights their chemistry and creates an immersive experience where each artist complements the other’s strengths.
Wizkid X Seyi Vibez On “Apala Disco”
Originally crafted by DJ Tunez and Terry Apala, the “Apala Remix” takes listeners on a sonic journey through the streets of Nigeria. But who could have imagined Wizkid on Apala music? Definitely nobody.
But the remix, featuring the sweet vocals of Wizkid and the dynamic delivery of Seyi Vibez, brings a fresh twist to a classic. Haruna Ishola’s contributions in the first remix set a high bar, but Wizkid and Seyi Vibez take it to new heights with their seamless blending of styles.
BNXN On “Alone”
Fola’s original track, featuring Bahdboi OML, set the stage with its rich, soulful melodies. However, when BNXN joined forces for the remix, the song transformed into a fresh sonic experience. BNXN’s smooth vocals seamlessly intertwine with Fola’s heartfelt delivery, creating a captivating blend that speaks to the soul.
The chemistry between the two artists shines through in their harmonies. It’s a perfect example of how a collaboration can breathe new life into a track, making it a must-listen in 2024’s remix lineup.
Davido On “Ogechi”
BoyPee, Hyce, and Brown Joel dropped a viral hit with “Ogechi,” but when Davido stepped in, it became an anthem that matched the joy of his wedding celebration. Released just before his nuptials, the remix captures Davido’s star power and personal touch, injecting fresh energy into an already popular track.
The original had already made waves on TikTok, but Davido’s presence elevates it further, particularly after the viral moment at his wedding where Chioma danced along to the song. It’s a remix that celebrates love but also showcases how a well-timed collaboration can broaden a song’s appeal to new audiences.
Kiss Daniel On “My Dealer”
When Kizz Daniel and the Portharcourt-bred singer, Kaestyle, teamed up for the remix of “My Dealer” the excitement was palpable. Kaestyle, known for his unique blend of vocals and a gentle, seasoned songwriting style that pours his emotions into every line delivers his verses with characteristic swagger, while Kizz Daniel infuses the track with his Afropop sound.
Fans were thrilled, and the collaboration proved that two Nigerian star artists and emerging stars can indeed create a musical masterpiece that resonates with diverse audiences.
