Burna Boy

Music lovers are in for a treat as Nigerian megastar Burna Boy will be performing in the country later this year.

The dance stage will also be lit up by DJs LKG, Lamiez, Zinhle and Soul Sista Zane. “The festival will be bigger and better than ever before, with amazing culinary and musical talent touching down in Mzansi over the Heritage Day weekend for the greatest festival in Africa.” It seems that Burna Boy has had a change of heart, as the international award-winning artist has been announced as one of the headline acts for the DStv Delicious International Food and Music Festival.

On his sixth album, the Nigerian superstar admits some regrets.

And with Ed Sheeran, he shares “For My Hand,” a wedding-song-worthy vow of mutual devotion through rough times, singing, “Whenever I’m broken, you make me feel whole.” He has other concerns, like the smog in Lagos, Nigeria’s capital and Burna Boy’s current residence. Khalid croons in the hymnlike “Wild Dreams,” as Burna Boy urges listeners to dream big but ends with a warning: “Remember Martin Luther King had a dream, and then he got shot.” J Balvin trades verses with him in “Rollercoaster,” a bilingual Afrobeats-dembow blend, with Burna Boy expressing gratitude, renouncing “the fast life” to be “pure of heart,” and resigning himself to ups and downs. Burna Boy’s sixth studio album, “Love, Damini,” is a trove of material: 19 full-fledged songs. Burna Boy — the Nigerian songwriter Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu — has ascended steadily to international stardom over a decade of recording. Abetted by some of Africa’s most inventive producers, Burna Boy connects Afrobeats to its worldwide kin: R&B, Jamaican dancehall, reggaeton, Congolese rumba, hip-hop and more.

In conjunction with the 19-track album release, the Nigerian artist has also blessed fans with the official “For My Hand” video assisted by Ed Sheeran.

Afrobeats superstar Burna Boy has pulled out of his performance slots at Wireless Festival, his reps confirmed to Billboard.

— Burna Boy (@burnaboy)July 7, 2022 Love, Damini, Burna Boy’s sixth album, follows 2020’s Twice As Tall, his highest-charting album on the Billboard 200 (No. 54). Shocked fans expressed their disappointment with comments like “ Burna Boy has ruined my mood… The album, which features appearances from the likes of Ed Sheeran and Kehlani, was preceded by the Toni Braxton-sampling “Last Last.” The smash single has since scaled its way to No. 3 on the Billboard U.S. Afrobeats Songs chart. Sorry.” Several hours later, the Grammy-winner added, “I also won’t be doing Wireless Birmingham, sincerest apologies.” On Thursday morning (June 7), he tweeted, “I won’t be doing Wireless 2moro.

'Burna Boy must voetsek': One angry tweep said of the Nigerian hitmaker, who vowed to never return to South Africa in an a 2019 tweet.

He shared in a tweet about the concert: “The first of many! Burna Boy then vowed to never return to Mzansi. He tweeted: “I have not set foot in SA since 2017. Entertainment blogger Phil Mphela tweeted: “Part of being an adult is that you can change your mind. We know SA is not perfect, but we took you in as our own before you reached these levels. He also warned rapper AKA to “beef up security”, in a threatening tweet that has since been deleted. He also cancelled a show later that year after his life was threatened by angry South Africans.

Nonetheless, the African Giant’s highly-anticipated album ‘Love, Damini’ will be available tomorrow. About an hour ago, Nigeria’s GRAMMY Award-winning superstar Burna Boy took to his Twitter to announce that he will not perform at the Wireless Festival tomorrow. The multi-day festival is described as “a rap and urban music festival that takes place every year in London, England”. This year, we did not have the pleasure of seeing Burna Boy perform live at Afro Nation Puerto Rico, HOT 97’s Summer Jam, and I am unclear if there are any other engagements he didn’t show up for.

Burna Boy Delivers Sixth Studio Album 'Love, Damini': His followup to 'TWICE AS TALL.'

You can’t have a movie called Matrix and then there’s flowers and what’s the guy? Then in the movie, there should be some matrix things going on and some zeros and ones and some… And literally giving a part of myself to the whole world.

With guest spots from Ed Sheeran and J Hus, the Nigerian musician is in confident, melodious form.

The African Giant is a party-loving pop genius, but he falls a little short of the gold of old on this third album.

There’s a sense that Burna Boy – a party-loving, emotion-invoking genius – could do more to make something seminal. Burna Boy also flexes his emotional muscles with his friend and songwriting superstar Ed Sheeran on ‘For My Hand’. Over, floaty, mellow, guitar-led notes the two rattle through their heart-tugging story of unshakeable love. There are also cool tracks to push the Nigerian music maker’s taste a little bit further.

Grammy-winning Afrobeats star, Burna Boy, released the sixth studio album of his career, "Love Damini", at midnight on Friday.

In 2020, he was nominated for the World Music category for his album “African Giant”. He lost out that year to Angélique Kidjo’s album “Celia”. “Love Damini” comes after his widely acclaimed 2020 album “Twice As Tall”, which in 2021 won the Grammy category of Best Global Music Album. Grammy-winning Afrobeats star, Burna Boy, released the sixth studio album of his career, “Love Damini”, at midnight on Friday.

Burna Boy Guides Us Through His Triumphs and Struggles on 'Love, Damini'. The Nigerian Afro-fusion artist's latest combines soulful slaps and heartfelt ...

The first thing you hear on Love, Damini is a chorus of voices chanting “This is my story.” And, fittingly, Burna Boy reflects on some of the highs and lows he’s experienced on his bittersweet path to success. And the R&B-inflected “Solid” is a sure-shot chart-topper with some upbeat bars about maintaining a relationship (“Love is really deeper than meets the surface”). You’re bound to hear it everywhere this summer—from Lagos to L.A. The punchy “Rollercoaster” features Columbian singer J Balvin over a shimmering afrobeats riddim enlivened by a soaring chorus that makes you want to do nothing but daydream about planning an exotic vacay. The grandson of critic and former Fela Kuti manager Benson Idonije put Nigeria’s capital city, Part-Harcourt on the map, recanting his illustrious history (on songs like “Intro: My Life,” where Idonjie announces for posterity that his kin’s transformative music “has meaning”) and eventually emerging as one of afro-fusion’s brightest stars. It’s not surprising that the Grammy Award–winning artist born Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu has a lot to reveal on his sixth studio LP, Love, Damini, which is an urgent, heartfelt, and immensely personal snapshot of his struggles, triumphs, and aspirations. Burna Boy makes deeply soulful songs that brim with a karma-clearing vivacity.

-- -- Unpleasant Living has five proper songs and an intro track that have a sense of humor and a serious side, that are as aggressive as they are fun, as catchy as they are confrontational. -- To quote Amy's writeup: Laura Veirs' newest album Found Light sees her exploring a newfound independence following the 2019 divorce from her longtime producer and husband. -- -- UK singer/songwriter Katy J Pearson was first one half of the duo Ardyn before going solo with her 2020 debut album Return. That album quickly stirred up buzz, and now she returns with new album Sound of the Morning, which was co-produced by Ali Chant (who also worked on her debut) and Speedy Wunderground's Dan Carey. It's her first release since she found herself in the indie music spotlight, which is something she addressed on the album's breezy lead single "Talk Over Town," which she said is about "being Katy from Gloucester, but then being Katy J Pearson who’s this buzzy new artist," and which finds Katy ruminating on the realization that fame doesn't always bring happiness ("all this talk over town makes me feel like I'm going crazy"). Like that song, much of this album finds Katy looking at some darker lyrical topics as she offers up bright, warm, welcoming music, making good on Katy's promise to "always strive for the bittersweetness of things." -- It's been seven years since UK artist Wu-Lu released his debut album Ginga, a mostly instrumental electronic album, and in that time, he has expanded his sound and made greater use of his own voice across two EPs, before blowing everything out of the water with his new sophomore album and Warp debut, Loggerhead. At this point, Wu-Lu (real name Miles Romans-Hopcraft) is totally post-genre; the album weaves between electronics, grime, punk, metal, industrial, trip-hop, art pop, and more, and Wu-Lu blurs it all together in a totally organic way. -- Hey, hope those of you that had a long weekend enjoyed the time off, hope you're staying cool, and hope you're ready for more new music after last week's slower release schedule.

The Grammy award winning Afrobeat artist Burna Boy has disappointed fans with the last minute announcement.

Why Burna Boy has pulled out of Wireless festival so last minute is unknown. Burna Boy broke the news on Twitter, firstly saying: “I won’t be doing Wireless 2moro. Burna Boy has pulled out of his two Wireless Festival performances this weekend with little explanation, leaving fans gutted.

The album features Ed Sheeran, J Balvin, Kehlani, Victony, Blxst, Popcaan, Khalid and the legendary South African group Ladysmith Black Mambazo.

Burna Boy cancelled his Wireless spot with two vague tweets and offered his UK fans the chance to meet him at two HMV album signings instead.

Consider it part of his gift to you. The British singer-songwriter contributes a verse and some harmonies to the chilled-out, but no less mood-setting, single off Love, Damini. As the biggest Afrobeats musician to cross over to Western markets, Burna Boy has been on a near-constant upward rise — one that shows no signs of stopping now with the release of his sixth album, Love, Damini. And you can watch the singer going up, up, up in the music video for new song “For My Hand,” in which he takes a semi-magic elevator to the top of a skyscraper — getting transported to the sea and the sky.

You reflect and then you get as lit as possible. Then you sleep and wake up and reflect again. Switching between images of Sheeran and Burna hanging out in the elevator and footage of a couple performing a sensual dance as the doors open and shut, the visual later transports Sheeran to a stone slab adrift in the ocean as he sings, “Hear my love is burning baby feels like time is frozen babe/ The night is for us I feel alone again/ Every moment is calling ye/ Feelings I been holding in/ It must be love.”

Burna Boy's latest album, 'Love, Damini' dropped this week.

Here they ensure that their partner's should stick around and wait it out for the storm to pass. Sheeran is married and has two children with childhood sweetheart Cherry Seaborn. Burna Boy broke up with ex Stefflon Don after three years of dating, and is believed to now be dating Rebecca Hampson.

The popular Nigerian rapper has just a few concerts and festival appearances left on his 2022 tour calendar.

Rolling Stone said the record, “combines soulful slaps and heartfelt confessionals.” - Teyana Taylor’s “The Last Rose Petal...Farewell Tour” - Giveon’s “Give Or Take Tour”

Complex's best new music this week includes songs from Brent Faiyaz, Burna Boy, Popcaan, Ken Carson, Doechii, Westside Gunn, Fivio Foreign, and many more.

Fivio Foreign delivers another dizzying verse, passionately spitting, “She don’t want me to have it/ She’ll hold mine/ If we ever get pulled over with the chop’ She takin’ the charge and the whole nine.” The new track appears on the deluxe edition of Fivio’s B.I.B.L.E. “Wishin’ I coulda stopped him, let alone just know how he feel/ Lyrically couldn’t top him, he was the nigga with the belt/ Yeah, and that’s real rap/ I couldn’t do this shit without him, and that’s just fact,” he raps. “Bitch I’m Nice” is expected to be a single from Doechii’s debut project, and is more proof she’s next up. “I’m lookin’ like Paq at the fight, rockin’ silk, nigga/ I’m nothin’ like these rap niggas,” he spits. The song appears on Westside Gunn’s newly-released album Peace “Fly” God. “Go” is a rebellious track from Atlanta’s rising star Ken Carson, where the 19-year-old chants in a dizzying fashion while bragging about his jewelry, women, and money.
