Burna Boy has officially announced his eighth studio album, No Sign of Weakness, which is set for release in 2025. While the exact date remains unknown, the announcement has created widespread anticipation. The album, which will be released under Spaceship, Bad Habit, and Atlantic Records, is poised to continue Burna Boy’s streak of groundbreaking projects. With his unique ability to bridge Afrobeat traditions with contemporary sounds, this new release is expected to catch the attention of listeners worldwide.
New Single “Bundle by Bundle” Sparks Excitement
To build excitement for the album, Burna Boy released a new single, “Bundle by Bundle,” on the same day as the announcement. Produced by Telz, a frequent collaborator, the track celebrates the energy and atmosphere of Nigerian nightlife, particularly during festive periods. Meanwhile, fans got a taste of the track before its release, as Burna Boy performed it during several club appearances in Nigeria. These performances, coupled with the public’s curiosity about his rumored relationship with Chloe Bailey, have only heightened interest in both his music and his personal life.
Fans Speculate Tracklist and Album Structure
Although the full tracklist for the forthcoming album has yet to be revealed, fans are speculating on its size based on Burna Boy’s past releases. His seventh studio album, I Told Them, featured 15 tracks, while Love, Damini included 19 songs. Given these patterns, it is reasonable to expect No Sign of Weakness to follow a similar structure. Until Burna Boy offers more details, fans can only speculate, but the consistency and diversity of his previous albums suggest this one will be no exception in delivering chart-topping hits.
Global Appeal of “I Told Them” Album
Reflecting on I Told Them, Burna Boy’s ability to craft an album with global appeal becomes even more evident. Released in August 2023, the album debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart, selling 14,164 album-equivalent units in its first week.
With its blend of introspective themes, the album earned widespread recognition and set a new benchmark for Afrobeat on the global stage. Moreover, there is curiosity about whether No Sign of Weakness will follow in the footsteps of earlier released albums or explore a different creative direction.
Burna Boy’s 2025 Tour and Global Performances
Beyond the album, Burna Boy’s 2025 calendar is already filling with major performances. In March, he will perform at the MadFun Xperience in Nairobi, Kenya. Following this, he is set to headline the Stade de France in Paris in April. Later in the year, he will perform in Germany, with shows scheduled in Berlin and Mönchengladbach in July, before heading to Los Angeles in October for two co-headlining performances with Akon. These events showcase Burna Boy’s expanding global presence and his ability to draw audiences across continents.
