The Nigerian native\u2019s lucid bops feel like swagged-out libations to the ancestors: his songs convey a dutiful sense of history that blends seamlessly with the chill day-party vibes. And while the content in his songs is in many ways similar to that of other artists on the Afro-fusion scene, Burna Boy\u2019s unique marriage of afrobeats, dancehall, and hip-hop feels earthy, alive, and innately spiritual; each cut (about love, lust, and stunting on haters) is somehow fortifying\u2014like an aural amulet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since his 2013 debut, L.I.F.E., Burna Boy has been blessing us with tales of his inspiring journey. The grandson of critic and former Fela Kuti manager Benson Idonije put River State, Nigeria\u2019s capital city, Port Harcourt on the map, recanting his illustrious history (on songs like \u201cIntro: My Life,\u201d where Idonjie announces for posterity that his kin\u2019s transformative music \u201chas meaning\u201d) and eventually emerging as one of Afro-fusion\u2019s brightest stars. That transcendent quality caught the attention of Beyonc\u00e9, who, in 2019, tapped Burna Boy (who appeared on \u201cJA ARA E\u201d) for her pan-African opus The Lion King: The Gift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s not surprising that the Grammy Award\u2013winning artist born Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu has a lot to reveal on his sixth studio LP, Love, Damini, which is an urgent, heartfelt, and immensely personal snapshot of his struggles, triumphs, and aspirations. These 19 songs are sure to introduce Burna Boy\u2019s expansive sounds and high-minded hymns to an even broader audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first thing you hear on Love, Damini is a chorus of voices chanting \u201cThis is my story.\u201d And, fittingly, Burna Boy reflects on some of the highs and lows he\u2019s experienced on his bittersweet path to success. Over the tasteful, gospel-tinged pianos of opener \u201cGlory,\u201d he croons, \u201cBeen having a hard time, like back when my dog died\/Felt my heart split apart like apartheid.\u201d The mood is as intimate and personal here as his handwritten scrawl, which appears in a playful purple flourish on the album\u2019s journal-esque cover. And there\u2019s a definite tragic tinge to the song (he also recalls how he recently survived a near-fatal scuffle). But his tone is hopeful as he asserts that \u201cnow I\u2019m in the lab, trying to do the best that I can.\u201d Those voices echo like a proud refrain at the close of \u201cGlory,\u201d sounding as if they were ushering from some modest village proclaiming the triumphs of its favorite son.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But so much of Love, Domini\u2019s appeal is due to its spicy elasticity. It, if anything, anticipates a global village of sorts, where the vibrant and eclectic sounds lose none of their authenticity, even as they hop across a couple of continents. The punchy \u201cRollercoaster\u201d features Columbian singer J Balvin over a shimmering afrobeats riddim enlivened by a soaring chorus that makes you want to do nothing but daydream about planning an exotic vacay. And the R&amp;B-inflected \u201cSolid\u201d is a sure-shot chart-topper with some upbeat bars about maintaining a relationship (\u201cLove is really deeper than meets the surface\u201d). You\u2019re bound to hear it everywhere this summer\u2014from Lagos to L.A.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Though not quite as well-rounded as 2019\u2019s African Giant, Love, Domini still strikes an impressive balance between soulful slaps and heartfelt confessionals. Some of that spiritual resonance is evident on the mellow \u201cIt\u2019s Plenty,\u201d where Burna Boy\u2019s affirmation, over lucent keys, that \u201cI don\u2019t want to waste my days, I want to spend them on enjoyment\u201d takes you to a calming and meditative place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While it only clocks in at some two and half minutes, the title track resounds like an ardent prayer, wherein Burna Boy reveals his regrets (\u201cI should show more people love while they still alive\u201d) as well as his hopes (\u201cTrying to be a better man, I been trying\u201d). The vibe is both mournful and cathartic when Lady Blacksmith Mambazo chimes in with plaintive ad-libs that, again, resound poignantly, like an optimistic, ancestral chorus. They signify a bond between past and present\u2014perfectly embodied by this worldly album\u2014that feels instantly rewarding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Originally published at Rolling Stone<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Nigerian Afro-fusion artist\u2019s latest combines soulful slaps and heartfelt confessionals By Will Dukes Burna Boy makes deeply soulful songs that brim with a karma-clearing vivacity.
