The global grammy winner icon, Burna Boy, is preparing for the launch of his highly anticipated eighth study album, “no signs of weakness”, with the new single “Tatata”. The song is a vibrant fusion of Brazilian Funk Funk music, English Nigerian Pidgin and pop flow flow, with an arrogant rap verse by Travis Scott.
In “Tatata”, Burna Boy refers to the controversial public servant of Guinea Ecroverial Baltasar Engónga, who was the head of Global for his stash of sexual tapes with multiple women. The message of the song is more underlined by rap flow without Travis Scott complexes.
This new release comes after the recent hits of Burna Boy, including his reggae album “Sweet Love”, which continues to generate impulse for the next album. His previous single, “Bundle by Bundle”, has accumulated more than 24 m spotify streams and 8.5m video views. In addition, his collaboration with the French singer-Jajaja Joé Dwèt Filé in the remix of “4 Kampé” has been drawing worldwide, showing Burna Boy's ability to create intercultural hymns.
The recent achievements of Burna Boy include becoming the first cover star of Billboard France and making history as the first African artist to head the iconic Stade of France in Paris, followed by a concert with depleted entries in the CO-OP Arena in Manchester, the largest inner sand in England. With “Tatata”, Burna Boy continues to solidify its position as an icon of global music, and fans anxiously expect the launch of “no sign of weakness.”
