Twice As Tall

Burna Boy

Twice As Tall
Limited clear vinyl LP pressing. As a child, like many children, Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu was fascinated by superhero comics. He wanted to be his own superhero, so he named himself Burna Boy, a moniker that has followed him into a career as one of the defining musical acts of todays African diaspora. Last November, after his fourth studio album African Giant permeated the summer from Abuja to Brooklyn, he sold out Londons Wembley Arena. Now, just a year after African Giant, Burna returns with Twice as Tall, and with it, a more resonant origin story-one that explains his ascent from 2018s breakthrough single "Ye." In an accompanying motion comic, the Yoruba deity Orunmila chooses Burna to embody his "secret flame." With it, Burna is challenged to restore the gods faith in humanity. He meets these Black gods again, in 2020, his mission completed through his resounding success. "You make music passionately, like you are waging a war," one tells him, proudly.
