Burna Boy wastes no time in premiering the visuals to his spanking new single “Gbona”. The song/video serves as the superstar’s first single this year since the release of his critically acclaimed “Outside” album.
Gbona” is heavily influenced by Fela Kuti, who seems to be one of Burna Boy’s biggest inspirations. As eclectic as his music is, Burna Boy manages to maintain a signature vibe without ever coming off as monotonous, which is indicative of his immense talent.
On the catchy track, Burna Boy is clearly very aware of this talent, as he sings “When the gbedu dey enter body, all the galdem dey shake their body” and “Oluwa Burna mo gbona feli”, meaning he’s hot and we’re enjoying his songs.
For the accompanying music video, we see Burna Boy performing the song for most of it, alongside some heavily decorated dancers. More than anything, the video is very visually appealing and matches the energy of the song really well.
Gbona was produced by Kel P, and Mixed & Mastered by Mix Monsta and was shot by Clarence.
