Peruzzi’s fourth studio album SABALI opens in spectacular fashion. “Die It” begins with an orchestral swell suited to a film’s climax. before Peruzzi steps in, swaggering and reflective, invoking his humble beginnings, which continues on “Nuff Respect” and “Cooking Pot”. On the latter, he sings, “Everyday for the rest of my life, I dey pray for peace.” The mood shifts for the groovy “Legalize” and “Ecstacy”, where tropical reggae rhythms cushion his voice alongside Jujuboy and Nana Kwabena. It is the first of several detours, action a lesser artist would have little chance of pulling off in the way Peruzzi does. SABALI is an album that affirms the singer’s versatility as Afrobeats melodist and writer. He leans into R&B (“You”, “One Thing”), slips logdrum textures into “Gazo”, and even raps with effective force on “Time of My Life”, trading melodic runs for tight rhyme schemes: “Jesus! I was/Lost and gone, I needed superpowers/Had to get it, I worked different hours.” When drill arrives on “El Sucio Guapo” (with Zlatan and The Flowolf), it’s pure aggression, balancing the vulnerability of earlier tracks. And then there’s “Perfect Situation”, an amapiano-driven DMW reunion that feels like a homecoming, pulling Davido, Mayorkun and Dremo back into Peruzzi’s orbit. The thread across SABALI is character.: Peruzzi constantly reshapes himself—storyteller, lover, preacher, rapper—without losing the emotional tremor that makes his voice unmistakable.
