Burna Boy’s “Update” is the Feel-Good Anthem We All Need
Burna Boy unites generations with his new single “Update,” which samples the famous “Back to Life” by Soul II Soul.
“Back to life, back to reality, back to the here and now, yeah”—we’ll be singing this all week, courtesy to Burna Boy’s brand-new tune, “Update”. This new song by the African Giant, which samples Soul II Soul’s 1989 hit song “Back to Life,” has the ideal balance of groove and nostalgia.
This week has seen many exciting developments in the continent’s music scene. At Formula 1’s special premiere event at London’s O2 Arena, Tems performed, and Ayra Starr became the first female to win Best African Music Act at the MOBO Awards, and Tyla is on the cover of British Vogue. Now, Burna Boy has joined the mix with a brand-new banger—what more can we say?
The music video is just as energetic, with Burna Boy showing off his dance moves, having fun with the dancers, and fully embracing the rhythm of this new track.
