Burna Boy, the Afrobeat singer, has finally put out his highly anticipated album titled ‘I Told Them’.
The album was released in the early hours of Friday.
In the 15-track project, Burna Boy enlists J. Cole and Dave, the rappers, and Seyi Vibez, the Nigerian singer.
The tracks in the album consist of ‘I Told Them’, ‘Normal’, ‘On Form’, ‘Giza’ ft. Seyi Vibez, ‘Tested, Approved & Trusted’, and ‘Dey Play’.
Other tracks are ‘Thanks’ ft. J. Cole, ‘Cheat On Me’ ft. Dave, ‘Virgil’, ‘City Boys’, ‘Jewels’, and ‘If I’m Lying’.
In the last two months, Burna Boy had put out three tracks off the album, including ‘Sittin’ On Top Of The World‘ ft. 21 Savage, ‘Big 7‘, and ‘Taliban II’ ft. Bryon Messia.
Speaking of the project, the Grammy-award winner said ‘I Told Them’ showcases a side of himself that is not often seen in the public.
“It kind of showed me exactly the way I wanted to express what I was feeling and what my unit was feeling. The spirit of my unit. Just put that in because this is every day,” he said.
“This is a side that people do not really get to see because I do not really care for anyone to see. I have fun with it like this. But I felt like this time, this is a way… How do I put it?
“A more understandable way to pass that feeling and that energy across. And at the same time, showing you that’s… Not you. Showing everyone that the combination of worlds is something that we have not really capitalized on.
“Because at the end of the day, once we are all unified, everything else, the fruits of that just take care of everything.”
‘I Told Them’ follows after the success of ‘Love, Damini’ (2022), Burna Boy’s sixth album.
