"Superstar" showcases a vibrant blend of Afrobeats and contemporary pop, characterized by its infectious rhythms and polished production. The album features a rich tapestry of percussive elements, with tracks like "Scatter the Floor" and "Pakuromo" driving the energy through syncopated beats and layered instrumentation. The use of synths and smooth bass lines creates a lush backdrop, while the melodic hooks in songs such as "Say My Name" and "Love My Baby" highlight Wizkid's vocal versatility. The tempo varies across the album, maintaining an upbeat feel that invites movement, while the textures range from airy and melodic to deep and groovy. This sonic diversity, combined with its catchy choruses, makes "Superstar" a standout in the Afrobeats genre.
