Burna Boy drops eighth studio album 'No Sign of Weakness'

Burna Boy, the Nigerian superstar released his much-anticipated eighth studio album 'No Sign of Weakness' on Thursday, July 10, under Spaceship Records, Bad Habit, and Atlantic Records. And like the title says, there’s no sign of slowing down either.

The album has 16 tracks, with some songs fans already know and love like 'Bundle by Bundle,' 'Update,' 'Sweet Love,' 'TaTaTa' featuring Travis Scott, and Change Your Mind (with Shaboozey. 'TaTaTa' has already climbed to No. 2 on the U.S. Afrobeats Songs chart, and both 'Bundle by Bundle' and 'Update' have hit the charts as well. 'No Sign of Weakness' also features two surprise global collabs, 'Empty Chairs' with rock legend Mick Jagger and 'Pardon' with Belgian star Stromae. Burna seems to be expanding his sound, and it shows.

Talking about the album in an interview with Billboard France, Burna said, “It’s not just about me. It’s about looking outward, reflecting on the world, and how my experiences connect with the bigger picture". For him, 'No Sign of Weakness' is about growth, honesty, and staying real.

He’s also giving fans a taste of the album live by headlining Afro Nation Portugal on July 11, where he will perform songs from his latest 'Sign of Weakness' for the first time on stage.

In November, Burna will kick off his 'No Sign of Weakness' tour at the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado, making history as the first Nigerian artist to perform at that venue. The 17-date tour will cover major U.S. cities including Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston, Houston, and Atlanta, before wrapping up with two big shows in Toronto on December 17 and 18.

This new album comes two years after 'I Told Them...', which earned a Grammy nomination for Best Global Music Album. That record also gave us 'City Boys' and 'Sittin' On Top of the World' feat. 21 Savage on the remix. And both were nominated for Grammys last year.
