Discover the 8th opus from the Nigerian giant, 'I Told Them'. The 6-time Grammy-nominated artist once again proves the extent of his talent by reinterpreting the R&B codes of the 2000s, all with the sunny, rhythmic musicality we know him for. « I Told Them... » features Burna's latest hit singles « Sittin' On Top Of The World (feat. 21 Savage) », « Talibans II » and « Big 7 », as well as a host of album features. Burna Boy was born Damini Ogulu in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria, in 1991 and started making music at just ten years old. As a teenager, he honed his craft on Nigeria's southern coast, immersing himself in dancehall, reggae, and afrobeat. In the early 2010s, Burna Boy became one of Nigeria's most talented rising stars, blending influences from his Nigerian heritage with catchy pop styles to create unforgettable tracks. His 2012 single « Like to Party » broke into the global mainstream and paved the way for his debut album L.I.F.E, a year later. Over the next five years, Burna Boy released two more albums and collaborated with a long list of top-tier artists, including J Hus, Skales, Fall Out Boy, and Lily Allen. African Giant was released in 2019, followed by his fifth album Twice as Tall in 2020 (which featured collaborations with Chris Martin and Youssou N'Dour), both charting in several countries around the world and receiving global acclaim, the latter winning a Grammy Award for « Best World Music Album ». Breaking cultural boundaries, he became the first Nigerian to headline a show at Madison Square Garden in New York. He released his sixth album last year, Love, Damini (with collaborations with Ed Sheeran and Khalid). It rightly became the highest-charting Nigerian album in history and currently holds the record as the only African artist to achieve a No. 1 on iTunes in 16 countries worldwide.
