Burna Boy injects fresh energy into Afrobeats with his latest single, “Update,” out now via Spaceship/Bad Habit/Atlantic Records. The hypnotic track builds anticipation for his eighth studio album, No Sign of Weakness, set to be the defining African music event of 2025 when it arrives this summer.
Produced by P2J, “Update” features a sample of Soul II Soul’s classic “Back to Life (However Do You Want Me),” infusing it with infectious rhythms and a pulsating groove. Burna Boy’s signature delivery blends seamlessly with the song’s anthemic energy, making it a club-ready hit. The accompanying visual, directed by UAX, reinforces the album’s theme as Burna Boy defies doubters in powerful cinematic sequences.
The Nigerian superstar is already making waves in 2025, earning a World Artist of the Year nomination at the iHeartRadio Music Awards. On April 18, he will headline the Stade de France, marking a career milestone at the country’s largest venue. With No Sign of Weakness on the horizon, Burna Boy is poised to make this his biggest year yet.
