In a most unexpected announcement, rising music star Burna Boy surprised his fans by revealing on X (formerly Twitter) that his upcoming album is set to drop in the next 24 hours.
It was in the early hours of July 29, 2024 that the artist shared these three powerful words: “Album out at noon.” The news instantly sent fans into a state of euphoria, fueling speculation as to whether the Grammy winner’s announcement was true.
The unexpected revelation comes shortly after Burna Boy celebrated the fifth anniversary of his Grammy-nominated album ‘African Giant’ in 2019, a celebration marked by a vibrant concert at Koko Camden.
With a steady five-album streak in six years, Burna Boy is known for his consistency when it comes to music releases. However, the announcement has taken his fans by surprise, who are wondering if it is not a joke on the part of the artist.
Some fans have expressed doubts about the nature of this announcement, calling it a possible hoax or a deliberately ambiguous message. Indeed, an album release without notice contrasts with the care taken by Burna Boy in planning and executing his artistic projects over the past five years. Moreover, the decision to release an album on a Tuesday is rather unusual in the music industry.
Kicking off the year 2024 with the release of his single ‘Higher’, Burna Boy expresses his gratitude for its success through an emotional music video that takes him back to his hometown of Port Harcourt.
All in all, this enigmatic announcement by Burna Boy does not fail to arouse excitement and questions among his many fans. Let us eagerly wait until noon to find out if this much-awaited album will indeed be unveiled at that time.
