Lamboziki

Preceded by a teaser in October 2021, Mozzik announced Lamboziki as his second studio album on his social media accounts and revealed the record's title and cover art.[4] The latter depicts a golden portrait of the rapper positioned in a black coat of arms, resembling the logo of Italian manufacturer Lamborghini, with lettering displayed in gold above the coat.[5] The tracklist and release date as 13 February 2022 were unveiled through the rapper's social media on another occasion in early February.[6][7] The record was ultimately issued in various countries on the announced date by 2 Euro Gang and Urban, a subsidiary of Universal.[8] Lamboziki contains 14 songs and lasts for 43 minutes and 35 seconds.[9] For the record, Mozzik collaborated with Kosovo-Albanian producers Pellumb and Rzon, while also being involved in the writing process of all the songs.[9] Critical commentary noted the record to incorporate hip hop, pop and R&B music, with funk, rock, urban elements.[5] The record's songs are predominantly performed in Albanian, with several songs encompassing German, English and French lyrics, as well.[5]

Noizy is featured on "Bonjour Madame", the first song on Lamboziki.

Lamboziki was supported by three singles, including its accompanying music videos, which premiered from October 2021 to January 2022.[10] "Bonjour Madame" was released as the record's first single on 21 October and featured the Albanian rapper Noizy.[11][12] Described as a hip hop, R&B and urban song, it lyrically focuses on pleasure and passion, and is concentrated on a desire to attract the attention of an independent woman.[5][13] Commercially, the recording reached number 14 on Switzerland's Top 100 chart in late October.[14] The record's second single, "Shko", followed on 24 November,[15][16] and entered the top five on Albania's Top 100 chart in early December.[17][18] Musically a pop song with funk and rock components, its video game-inspired music video was well received by reviewers, who lauded Mozzik's appearance, and noted the retro and science-fiction visuals.[5][19] This was followed on 27 January 2022 by the premiere of the record's third single "Ska", an urban and R&B recording delving into the concepts of empowerment and self-love.[5][20][21] Collaborating with Albanian singer and songwriter Elvana Gjata,[22] it reached number three in Albania and peaked at number 33 in Switzerland.[23][24] To further promote the record's premiere, a single music video for "Patrolla" and "Kriminela" was released during the record's release.[25][26]
