Since his breakthrough in 2018 with the hit single “YE,” Burna Boy has emerged as a leading figure in the global music scene, cementing his status as a global superstar. His remarkable achievements have not only set records but also elevated Nigerian music on the international stage.
In a surprising twist on the morning of July 29, 2024, Burna Boy took to X (formerly Twitter) to announce the title of his forthcoming eighth album, “No Sign of Weakness,” alongside a teaser for a new single, “Empty Chairs.” This brief but impactful post sent fans into a frenzy, although the album itself was not released immediately.
The highly anticipated album is expected to drop in the coming weeks, with Burna Boy potentially aiming to meet the August 31st Grammy deadline. His previous single, “Higher,” released earlier this year, featured a poignant music video that reflected on his journey from his hometown of Port Harcourt, highlighting his gratitude for his success.
Burna Boy’s upcoming release is anticipated to continue his streak of commercial success, following his record-breaking achievements with his last album, “I Told Them.” That album featured collaborations with prominent artists such as J Cole, Dave, and Seyi Vibez, and was influenced by iconic American hip-hop group Wu-Tang Clan. Fans are eagerly awaiting the tracklist and guest features for “No Sign of Weakness,” which is set to be another milestone in Burna Boy’s illustrious career.
