Burna Boy Returns with Braggadocious Anthem "Update"

Burna Boy, aka the African Giant, is acting as such on "Update," his second single in the last three months. On this track, the Lagos, Nigeria Afrobeats/Afro-fusion megastar is combining the former and amapiano for an irresistible dancefloor vibe. It hooks you in right away as P2J (Beyoncé, Wizkid, Dave), the producer, slyly samples Soul II Soul's iconic hit "Back To Life (However Do You Want Me)." After the earworm of the chorus dissipates, it subtly hangs in the background as Burna Boy encourages everyone to get their bread up. It's another braggadocious anthem with an undeniable rhythm. It's just as infectious as its predecessor "Bundle By Bundle." However, we would argue the latter is stronger lyrically speaking.
