Burna Boy Drops New Single “Update” Ahead of Highly Anticipated Album

 Grammy-winning Afrofusion star Burna Boy has released a new single titled “Update,” a track from his upcoming eighth studio album, “No Sign of Weakness,” set for release in 2025.

A Nostalgic Yet Fresh Sound

Produced by P2J, “Update” blends Burna Boy’s signature Afrobeats sound with a nostalgic touch.

Fans have likened the song’s vibrant energy to Burna Boy’s acclaimed “African Giant” era.

The music video for “Update” reflects Burna Boy’s opulent lifestyle, featuring warm-hued, stylish visuals that complement the song’s lively mood. Notably, the Nigerian superstar cleared his Instagram page ahead of the release—a common tactic among artists to generate anticipation and buzz for new music.
