Kiss Daniel and Fido’s collaboration on the remix of “Joy Is Coming” had fans on edge with excitement until the snippet landed online. What should’ve fueled anticipation seems to have dampened it instead, sparking heated conversations across social media.
A fan didn’t mince words, saying, “Omo, if you read your tweets, you’ll realize that the remix is dead on arrival, just like the “Awolowo” remix.”
Another chimed in with, “There’s nothing to look forward to anymore. The A&R team shouldn’t have allowed this snippet to drop fully it kills the surprise.“ The general sentiment? Fans believe the featured verse was laid bare too soon, leaving little to anticipate when the full track drops.
Snippets are a growing trend in Afrobeat, often serving as teasers to build momentum. But fans seem divided over their use. While they provide a glimpse into an upcoming song, critics argue that they sometimes give too much away, leaving little excitement for the official release. In this case, many fans feel the surprise element a key ingredient for remix success has been lost.
Still, the collaboration between Fido and Kiss Daniel remains one of the most anticipated. Both artists have a strong track record of delivering hits, and it’s possible that the final release will exceed expectations despite the early criticism.
Now, what if this “spoiler” is actually part of a bigger plan? Maybe Fido and Kiss Daniel are setting the stage for something we aren’t ready for yet. Either way, one thing is clear when the remix officially drops, the real verdict will follow. For now, let’s wait and see if “Joy Is Coming” truly lives up to its name.
