Burna Boy Proves He Is Unbridled By Sound And Culture On ‘Wonderful’

Teeming with confidence and pride, Burna Boy returns solo this week with the Telz produced Wonderful, a Zulu leaning record that summarizes his vast experience as an artist not bound by culture or sound and also, a direct response to his claim on Grammy’s Best World Music category.

Taking no prisoners, Burna Boy jumps straight into his braggadocious narrative “Anywhere where I go, money padasile mi ’cause my mami won wa nile mi” spotlighting the fact that he’s fully his own person now with an international presence that is highly sought after, also ascribing this success to his mother who is his manager.

Burna Boy has a strong grip on relatable narratives. From Ye to Gbona and now Wonderful, he’s soundtracking an entire generation of confident people, leaving an indelible mark like his mentor, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti did.
