Burna Boy drops ‘Twice As Tall’ album: Download info, tracklist and review
Burna Boy is towering over the world in great representation of Africa, the motherland, on his brand new album Twice As Tall.
The Nigerian megastar dropped off the 15-track Diddy-executive-produced album on Friday, to much critical acclaim.
Our critical opinion: Is it a hit or a miss?
There is no denying the star power inherent in Burna. With minimal effort, he exudes class and this is heard right at the start of the album that opens up with the Jimmy Van Heusen sampled Level Up featuring Youssou N’Dour.
It is too early to give our critical opinion on this album. Thus, we will stick to the basics. The avenues Burna stops at, at different turns on the album is a great show of his artistic range.
Of course, this is assisted by a near-perfect medley of guest appearances that offer tonality and alternative perspective to Burna’s narrative about growth, his grassroots connection to Nigeria and the diaspora.
