The Afro-Fusion artist returns with a thoughtful new single ahead of his upcoming “Three Needles EP.”
There’s a kind of honesty that only shows up after something ends. Not the raw, immediate kind, but the quieter clarity that comes once the dust settles and you’re left reflecting on what it all meant.
That’s the space Kizzy Stayne writes from on “Love Is Not Enough,” his latest single released on January 30 via 69 Entertainment. The song is a reflection on romantic love and its limits. Kizzy doesn’t present himself as bitter or broken. Instead, he sits in a more measured place, acknowledging that love was real, the effort was sincere, and still accepting that it wasn’t enough to hold things together.
In his words: “I learnt that the greatest power we can ever have as humans is to love unconditionally and the problem in our relationships is not the problem, it’s how we think about the problem.”
It’s a statement that speaks to growth earned through experience, not theory.
Sonically, “Love Is Not Enough” fits neatly into the Afro-Fusion lane Kizzy has been shaping since his 2022 debut EP “Beautiful Scars.” The production carries a warmth that draws you in, creating a soulful backdrop that gives his vocals space to hold the emotional weight of the song.
For listeners new to Kizzy Stayne, his catalogue reflects steady, patient growth. Singles like “Labade” (2023), “Oshomo” (2024), and “Location” (2025) have gradually expanded his sound while keeping the emotional core intact. “Love Is Not Enough” feels like a natural next step in that journey, an artist less concerned with proving himself sonically and more focused on saying something that matters.
The single also sets the tone for his upcoming EP, “Three Needles,” which promises to continue this introspective direction. If “Love Is Not Enough” is any indication, the project will be rooted in lived experience, unafraid to face the uncomfortable truth that sometimes the hardest part of love isn’t losing it, but accepting that your best still wasn’t enough to make it stay.
Kizzy Stayne is making music that lingers after the moment passes, and “Love Is Not Enough” is proof of that.
