BURNA BOY IS A WORLD CLASS ARTISTE AND THE OUTSIDE ALBUM EMPHASIZES THAT

Davido and Wizkid are the biggest musical exports we can boast of but without an iota of doubt ladies and gentlemen,the most 'international' of them all is the Don Gorgon himself,Burna boy.He calls what he does afro-fusion,i call it magic.The man is simply in a world of his own and the message the Outside album contains is simple-the time is now.If indeed we will conquer the world then we need to get moving and this man did move in some style.

The mind-blowing Heaven's Gate and the exhilaratingly jinglic Streets Of Africa are global market quality.We were bound to see the many sides of Burna boy on here and he gives us just that in 3D.

Ye, track 7 on the album best highlights his effortless versatility.He flips his strong Fela influence (his dad,Benson Idonije was the late music legend's manager) into an awesome 2018 afro-beat track.Don't think anyone would deem Wizkid the best Fela exemplar after listening to this song.

Burna is pop,ragga,dancehall,R&B,afrobeat and the amazing part of it all is that he could be all that on one song.We couldn't have done more justice than allowing him pick a genre for himself.

He tells you his inspiring Port-Harcourt story in ragga on the mesmerizing Where I'm From just as well as he does in pop on City Vibration.No matter what style,he stays catchy all through.

Burna introduced himself to the world with one of the best pop songs ever made here in the uncommon Like to party and though such songs are made once in a life time,nature is kind enough to throw up ones like Giddem that pop up exuding a distinct air of exceptionality.Ko ni baje is stooping to regular pop level and slaying it real bad.He just won't sound ordinary even when he tries.

Sekkle Down too.A fabulous dancehall cut that further highlights protean artistry.He isn't forcing anything,its all there deep within.

As accustomed as his fans may have been to expecting anything from Don Gorgon over the years,the ability to murder a slow slong has to catch off guard.If the effect of Devil In California will wear off with time,that of the magical Calm Down definitely won't.

Simply put,Burna boy is a world class artiste and the Outside album emphasizes that.
