Sometime last year Burna Boy promised his fans an album every year after dropping his mega-continent shifting project ‘African Giant,’ which had party bangers like “On The Low” and “Killin’ Dem” setting the pace for the superstar to take over the global Afrobeats stage amongst contemporaries, like Wizkid & Davido.
He’s kept to his promise with the announcement of his fourth studio album, ‘Twice As Tall,’ scheduled to drop later this year. The album’s first official single ‘Wonderful’ has been released, ushering in the next chapter of his music.
As Burna Boy explained in a statement “This song is about the ‘wonders’ of seeing the impact of my music on people’s lives as they shared their joy, pain, and pleasure with me while I toured the world.”
The album is deliberately set ‘in the land of Warriors, Kings, and Queens’ to depict the strength in our origins as Black people, as Africans. We are the most resilient people, always able to find the silver lining in every situation and turn it to a cause for communal celebration. Then we live to fight another day.
Burna Boy shares with Elle about the album.
The music video opens with a cut giant gorilla waking up Burna from a deep sleep, then placing him in the motherland with Warriors, Kings, and Queens’ showing a strong and Afro-futuristic Africa in its element.
