TALK TO US SPECIAL: GODSKIDX.

•We welcome another superstar from the southern part of Nigeria, Godskidx. Can You Kindly Tell Us Your Biological Name?

My name is Godswill Edewor.

•Your Debut Single “Many Men” Made an Impact in 2023. How Did It Influence Your Career and Approach to Music?

“Many Men” was actually my first song. I did that track with my bro, Blaqdakid. We had this idea of doing a song together, so we went to the studio and put our ideas together. That’s how we created “Many Men.” It had a great impact and showed me what was possible when you collaborate and put effort into your art.

•How Did Your Collaboration With Lyta on “SORRY” Come About, and What Was It Like Working Together?

“Sorry” was originally a full song I had completed. Then, I thought about featuring someone on it, and Lyta came to mind. I reached out to see if I could get him on the track, and God was kind enough to make it happen. He was available, we met, and that’s how we did the song together. It was fun working with Lyta. He’s a very nice, calm person, and I enjoyed the experience.

•“SORRY” Explores Themes of Vulnerability and Regret. What Inspired This Track, and How Do These Themes Connect With Your Own Experiences?

“Sorry” came to mind after I went through a breakup—what we call ‘chopping breakfast’ (laughs). After writing “Broken,” I thought about what it would be like to apologize for everything that happened, even though I was no longer in the relationship. So, I put all those feelings together and wrote “Sorry.”

•Can You Walk Us Through the Creative Process Behind “SORRY,” From Songwriting to Production?

Writing “Sorry” was all about reflecting on my past relationship. I thought about the things I did that weren’t right and decided to say sorry for them all. The production was amazing, done by Mikaba, who really helped bring the song to life.

•The Production of “SORRY” Blends Afrobeat With Contemporary Sounds. How Involved Were You in Shaping Its Sound?

Musically, I love experimenting with different sounds, but Afrobeat is a favorite of mine. I was definitely involved in shaping the sound, working closely with the producer to get it just right.

•How Has Your Sound Evolved Since “God Design” and “Broken”? What’s Driving Your Music Now?

If you listen to “God Design” and compare it with my current songs, you’ll notice a lot of differences, from production to the recording process. Everything is different now, and I love the way my sound has evolved. “Broken” and “Sorry” reflect the inspiration I get from things happening in my life and around me. That’s what drives my music at the moment.

•What Can Fans Expect From You in 2024? Are There Any Upcoming Projects or Collaborations You’re Excited About?

My fans can expect more good music from me. I plan to drop a new song before the year ends, and yes, I might release a new single soon. For now, there aren’t any new collaborations in the works, but I’m focusing on delivering great music.
