Azizam
It takes a certain kind of pop talent to build bridges like this. Between genres, continents, and dance floors. In “Azizam”, Merchant doesn’t just remix Ed Sheeran, he repositions him, letting the softness of pop songwriting melt into the pulse of Afro House. It’s a move that feels less opportunistic and more like a natural evolution of global sound. And it’s about time the Afrobeats and Afro House movement benefited from this kind of cultural clout in return. Featuring Jordan Grace, the track leans into a hypnotic groove that doesn’t try to dominate. It invites. The bass rolls gently, the percussion taps into something deeper, and the result feels both inevitable and new. Merchant might be rising fast, but “Azizam” doesn’t scream for attention. Instead, it whispers across borders, offering connection through rhythm rather than hype.
