Zlatan And Buju Reprise Their Roles As Philosophical Partners On ‘Alubarika’

At his peak in 2019, Zlatan was everyone’s favorite and go-to for features that gave their songs an original flavor. This might be why the singer easily recognized the same phenomenon in man of the moment, Buju, and tapped him on his latest, Alubarika, a longtime coming ode to his journey, inspired by the maturity that now clouds his persona and heightened by the path to evolution, a good number of his contemporaries are on now.

Alubarika comes after fan-favorite, Cho Cho Cho, with a remix that featured Davido and Mayorkun, and this perfectly planned succession, helps us realize Zlatan’s goal of juxtaposing his past, present, and future in a manner that’s emotional, nostalgic, and engaging in the same vein.

Produced by Steph, Alubarika, hinged on Buju’s catchy hook delivered in his tuneful range that prefaces Zlatan’s raging honesty and calmness results in a magnetic pull and push between the old and new Zlatan, making for the possibility of an exciting future.
