Burna Boy Releases Seventh Studio Album, Titled ‘I Told Them’
Grammy award-winning Nigerian singer, Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu, known as Burna Boy, released his seventh studio album on Friday, August 25, 2023.
The self-acclaimed Giant of Africa titled his new album ‘I Told Them’ which is seventh studio album after his sixth album ‘Love, Damini’, released 2 July 2022, was commercially successful.
His sixth studio album birthed his myriad stadium tours across Europe, ‘I Told Them’ takes a different direction sonically from previous albums Burna Boy had made.
Unlike its predecessors, ‘I Told Them’ is heavily influenced by Hip-hop.
This influence is palpable all through the album, consisting of only 15 songs, and in the selection of collaborators as well–J Cole, Dave, 21 Savage, GZA, RZA, and Byron Messia.
The only artist not of hip-hop background on the album is Nigerian singer, Seyi Vibez.
Burna Boy got the service of Seyi Vibez on track 11 titled which is titled ‘Giza’.
There is thus no doubt about this album being a new creative direction for the versatile Burna Boy to reach the world.
Burna Boy recently said Afrobeats lack substance, thus he created his own genre which he called Afro-fushion.
‘I Told Them’ is now available on all streaming platforms.
