The king of Afrobeat, Burna Boy, is getting ready to release his eight studio album, titled No Sign of Weakness. While details about the project remain under wraps, the Nigerian superstar has just shared a new single off of the record, Update, together with a vibrant music video that celebrates the power of community and togetherness through dance.
Directed by Uax Studio (who’ve also worked with Tyla, Tems, Omah Lay, and Chiké, among others), the music video for Update is energising and contagiously blissful. Looking dapper in different fits that go hard, surrounded by equally cool-looking friends, and flashing a vintage red Ferrari, Burna Boy stays atop of the game. The song, which samples ‘90s classic Back to Life by Soul II Soul and also blends seamlessly Afrobeats, amapiano, and pop, is a hint at what’s to come — what we’re sure is going to be another brilliant LP by the artist.
