Burna Boy is Super Saiyan when you allow him to flip a track.
Global Afrobeats star Burna Boy is back with a brand-new single, “Update,” as he gears up for the release of his highly anticipated album, No Signs of Weakness. While he’s already dropped tracks like “Bundle By Bundle” and “Higher” in 2024, it’s likely that “Update” will make the final cut—especially since it follows a familiar hit-making formula.
In “Update,” Burna Boy taps into his signature sampling style, reminiscent of “Last Last” and “Sittin’ On Top of the World.” This time, he breathes new life into the classic “Back to Life” by Soul II Soul, blending it seamlessly with modern Afrobeats, pop, and Amapiano elements. The track showcases his dynamic vocal delivery while offering an infectious groove that’s sure to get listeners dancing and feeling nostalgic.
No Signs of Weakness serves as the follow-up to Burna Boy’s Grammy-nominated album I Told Them…, which featured collaborations with J. Cole, Dave, GZA, and RZA. With “Update” setting the stage, fans are eager to see what Burna has in store for his next chapter.
