Nigerian superstar Burna Boy delivers another electrifying chapter in his discography with Twice As Tall, the 2020 album that solidifies his global influence in Afrobeats. Blending high-energy anthems with introspective moments, this 15-track collection showcases Burna’s signature versatility, from the infectious groove of "Level Up" (featuring Youssou N’Dour) to the reflective swagger of "No Fit Vex."
The album’s diverse sound palette spans from the hypnotic rhythms of "Bebo" and "Onyeka (Baby)" to the politically charged energy of "Wetin Dey Sup," proving Burna’s ability to balance personal storytelling with cultural commentary.
A standout feature of Twice As Tall is its star-studded guest appearances, which elevate the project’s global appeal. Collaborations like "Naughty by Nature" (with the iconic hip-hop duo) and "Monsters You Made" (featuring Chris Martin) bridge Afrobeats with international flavors, while tracks like "Time Flies" (with Sauti Sol) and "Real Life" (starring Stormzy) underscore Burna’s knack for uniting artists across genres.
Even the more intimate cuts, such as "Wonderful" and "Comma," reveal his knack for crafting melodies that resonate deeply, making the album a rich listening experience.
Musically, Twice As Tall thrives on its dynamic production, where Burna Boy’s signature Afrobeats production shines alongside lush orchestral arrangements and pulsating basslines. Tracks like "Way Too Big" and "23" showcase his ability to craft anthemic, dancefloor-ready bangers, while the album’s closer, "Bank On It," delivers a triumphant send-off.
The blend of English and Yoruba lyrics further immerses listeners in Burna’s cultural roots, making the album both a personal journey and a celebration of West African identity.
From the album’s explosive opener to its thought-provoking closer, Twice As Tall is a testament to Burna Boy’s artistic growth and his role as a defining voice in contemporary music. Whether you’re drawn to its infectious energy, its lyrical depth, or its global collaborations, this project remains a must-listen for fans of Afrobeats and beyond.
