There is no one working as hard as Burna Boy these days. The talented artist has risen to prominence in the Afro-fusion realm, and he returns with a brand new opus for our listening enjoyment. Burna Boy serves up an impressive new album, his fourth studio project, entitled ‘African Giant.’ The album comes a year and a half after his previous album, Outside, which features a bevy of exceptional material.
Looking to pick up where he left off, Burna Boy provides something impressive and addictive. ‘African Giant’ finds Burna Boy turning up the heat this Summer, providing a smooth new effort along the way. The artist recently opened up about his new album, stating: “When it’s time for music to be made, it’s almost like my ancestors just come into me and then it’s them. Music is supposed to be a universal language.” Burna Boy went on to add “You understanding what I’m saying is secondary. The primary thing is, what does the person inside of you hear? What does your spirit hear? That’s the job of music–that’s what it’s supposed to do.”
The artist doesn’t disappoint, linking up with an array of talented artists including Jorja Smith, Zlatan, Jeremih, Damian Marley, YG, Future & more. ‘African Giant’ is led by “On The Low,” “Gbona,” “Dangote,” “Anybody” & “Pull Up,” while other standouts include “Omo,” “Killin Dem,” and the title track, “African Giant.”
Whatever you have planned for today, make sure this album is a part of it. Check out ‘African Giant’ in the stream below and keep it locked for more from Burna Boy coming very soon.
