Burna Boy - African Giant [2xLP]

Burna Boy is among contemporary African music's brightest stars and creator of an enigmatic new genre he simply dubs "Afrofusion." After a recent conversation with Burna Boy, The New York Times went on to declare him as "a leader amid a bounty of new African pop," before going on to make it clear that "Burna Boy hasn't diluted his African heritage to reach his global audience. Instead, he has placed an unmistakably African stamp on music drawn from all around Africa and from across the African diaspora." Throughout TWICE AS TALL, Burna Boy takes stock of his accomplishments, his vulnerabilities and at the same time encourages ambition and perseverance in the face of uncertainty and against all odds. While this album is a pure, unapologetic African body of work, it boasts of a global contemporary sound that is for everyone. For the "African Giant" this project is a product of a potpourri of emotions and he is now standing "twice as tall."
