“No title, no tracklists yet”: Burna Boy’s’surprised eighth studio album is expected to be released at midnight.

The eighth studio album by Nigerian afro beats artist Burna Boy will be released at midnight, shocking fans with the news.

Burna Boy, whose real name is Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu, wrote a simple message on his official X account with the subject line “Album dropping 12am”.

Fans went crazy since they weren’t prepared for new songs from the musician this soon after his enormously popular “I Told Them I’m A Genius” album came out in

With that record, Burna Boy solidified his place among the world’s most popular performers, becoming the first African performer to play in London’s 60,000-seat London Stadium.

With hits like “Sittin’ On Top Of The World” and “Cheat On Me” leading the way, the album’s blend of hip-hop, dancehall, and afro beats was highly praised.

In a true surprise drop manner, Burna Boy has revealed virtually little to fans about his impending eighth studio album, which is still untitled.

Fans should anticipate a varied blend of sounds, impactful lyrics tackling social and political topics, and cameos from well-known musicians if it’s anything like his prior work.

With a reputation for releasing highly acclaimed, genre-bending records, Burna Boy is one of Africa’s most significant musical exports, so anticipation for what looks to be another ground-breaking release is strong.
