Renowned Afrobeat luminary Burna Boy, a recipient of the coveted Grammy accolade, has excitedly revealed that his much-anticipated album, titled “I Told Them”, is set to grace our auditory senses on the 24th of August.
This sonic masterpiece is primed for release through the collaborative channels of Spaceship and Atlantic Records. So mark your calendars and prepare to embark on an unparalleled musical journey!
The much-anticipated 15-track album has garnered significant attention through its three singles: ‘Sittin’ On Top Of The World,’ a collaboration with US rapper 21 Savage, along with ‘Big 7’ and ‘Talibans,’ featuring Jamaican singer Byron Messia. Noteworthy additions to the album include Nigerian artist Seyi Vibez, UK rapper Dave, and US hip hop sensation J. Cole.
In the midst of an astonishing spree of releases, Burna Boy’s highly anticipated fifth album graces our ears, marking a truly prolific chapter in his musical journey. With an astounding five albums within a mere span of six years, coupled with a relentless tour schedule culminating in the monumental feat of filling the colossal London Stadium to its 60,000 capacity this June, Burna Boy’s meteoric rise knows no bounds.
Immerse yourself in the album, and you’ll be swept up in a sonic battleground. The words of Burna Boy’s A&R virtuoso, Matthew ‘Baus’ Adesuyan, echo with resonance, revealing a pulsating energy reminiscent of a warrior’s spirit. The very essence of his music is transformed into an auditory battlefield, with kung-fu samples drawn from the legendary Wu-Tang Clan and the mystique of Shaolin. The sensation is nothing short of an artistic war cry, a sonic embodiment of the exhilarating anticipation that heralds the arrival of this remarkable album.
