Drizilik, a Sierra Leonean musician, provides one of his most intense and emotional tunes, “Smiley Face,” from his widely acclaimed 2025 EP Wait and See.

Drizilik’s EP, which was released on January 17, 2025, blends his signature Kriofusion style with elements of Afropop, hip-hop, and indigenous Sierra Leonean rhythms, demonstrating his outstanding lyrical abilities and range.

In “Smiley Face,” he delves into the untold sufferings that lurk beneath a smiling façade, which struck a deep chord with listeners who could identify to the song’s honest and unfiltered lyrics.

The PMD-produced song is a compelling analysis of the pressures of success, celebrity, and ambition, a topic that Drizilik has explored throughout his career.
