Lamboziki is the second studio album recorded by Kosovo-Albanian rapper Mozzik. It was released for digital download and streaming on 13 February 2022 by 2 Euro Gang and Urban as a follow-up to Mozzart (2020). Lasting for 43 minutes and 35 seconds across 14 songs, the rapper extensively collaborated with Kosovo-Albanian producers Pellumb and Rzon on the record. It was classified as a hip hop, pop and R&B album, comprising songs performed mainly in Albanian with limited lines in English, French, and German. Upon release, Lamboziki saw a moderate commercial success, reaching number 42 in Switzerland. Three singles released throughout October 2021 to January 2022 preceded the record, including "French: Bonjour Madame|i=no" featuring Noizy, "Albanian: Shko|i=no" and "Albanian: Ska|i=no" with Elvana Gjata. The former three were all accompanied by music videos and entered the single charts in Albania and Switzerland.

Background and composition

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.[1] 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.[2] The tracklist and release date as 13 February 2022 were unveiled through the rapper's social media on another occasion in early February.[3] [4] The record was ultimately issued in various countries on the announced date by 2 Euro Gang and Urban, a subsidiary of Universal.[5] Lamboziki contains 14 songs and lasts for 43 minutes and 35 seconds.[6] For the record, Mozzik collaborated with Kosovo-Albanian producers Pellumb and Rzon, while also being involved in the writing process of all the songs.[6] Critical commentary noted the record to incorporate hip hop, pop and R&B music, with funk, rock, urban elements.[2] The record's songs are predominantly performed in Albanian, with several songs encompassing German, English and French lyrics, as well.[2]

Promotion

Lamboziki was supported by three singles, including its accompanying music videos, which premiered from October 2021 to January 2022.[7] "French: Bonjour Madame|i=no" was released as the record's first single on 21 October and featured the Albanian rapper Noizy.[8] [9] 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.[2] [10] Commercially, the recording reached number 14 on Switzerland's Top 100 chart in late October.[11] The record's second single, "Albanian: Shko|i=no", followed on 24 November,[12] [13] and entered the top five on Albania's Top 100 chart in early December.[14] [15] 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.[2] [16] This was followed on 27 January 2022 by the premiere of the record's third single "Albanian: Ska|i=no", an urban and R&B recording delving into the concepts of empowerment and self-love.[2] [17] [18] Collaborating with Albanian singer and songwriter Elvana Gjata,[19] it reached number three in Albania and peaked at number 33 in Switzerland.[20] [21] To further promote the record's premiere, a single music video for "Patrolla" and "Kriminela" was released during the record's release.[22] [23]

Upon release, Lamboziki experienced a moderate commercial success in Switzerland, debuting and peaking at number 42 on the Swiss albums charts. Four other songs from the record, including "Albanian: A po rrin|i=no", "Albanian: Kriminela|i=no", "Albanian: Patrolla|i=no" and "Ye Ye", debuted within the top 100 in Albania for the week ending 19 February 2022.[24] [25]
