Burna Boy, Nigeria’s modern-day Fela Kuti, some might argue, returned to the music fold with his seventh studio album Love, Damini.
Burna Boy drops ‘Love, Damini’: Here’s the tracklist
On this album, Burna, who is set to perform in South Africa for the first time since 2017, explores different themes of self-love. Early into his 30s, the Nigerian star who’s at the height of global fame understands and appreciates life differently.
“After turning 30, birthdays seem to make you reflect on your life choices, or a lack thereof—your goals, dreams, hopes, achievements and fears.
“Even though it put me in a vulnerable place, it also challenged me to do and feel more. I started working on a Punjab mixtape with the late great Sidhu Moose Wala, halfway through recording this project, because I needed to open my mind more,” he tells Apple Music.
Love, Damini is a 19-track offering that features appearances from:
- Ladysmith Black Mambazo on Glory and Love, Damini;
- J Hus on Cloak & Dagger;
- Victony on Different Size;
- Popcaan on Toni-Ann Singh;
- Kehlani on Solid;
- Ed Sheeran on For My Hand;
- J Blavin on Rollercoaster; and
- Khalid on Wild Dreams.
“I want you to feel like it’s a rollercoaster ride,” Burna told his fans.
Here is the full tracklist to Love, Damini.
