Burna Boy Marks Life and Success with Debut Single of 2024 ‘Higher’
The popular Nigerian singer, Burna Boy, has kicked off 2024 with the release of his first single, titled “Higher”. Burna Boy’s latest single follows a monumental 2023, where he made history as the first African artist to perform at the main Grammy Awards ceremony.
Sharing the stage with 21 Savage and Brandy at the 66th Grammys, he also achieved another milestone as the first Nigerian artist nominated as a lead artist outside the global categories, thanks to his hit single ‘Sittin’ On Top Of The World’ featuring 21 Savage, nominated for Best Melodic Rap Performance. Adding to his accolades, Burna Boy recently set records for the highest-grossing concert by an African artist in the United States and the highest-grossing tour by an African artist in Canada.
Looking ahead, Burna Boy is preparing for a historic performance at London Stadium on June 29, 2024. This marks his second time headlining the stadium, following his groundbreaking achievement as the first African artist to do so in the UK in 2023.
Two Nigerian music stars, Rema and Asake, have earned a place in former U.S. President Barack Obama’s annual list of favorite songs for 2024.
On Saturday, Obama shared his handpicked selection of tracks from the year, and both artists’ songs were included.
Rema’s hit single Yayo and Asake’s collaboration with Travis Scott on Active made the prestigious list..
The list also saw the inclusion of another African artist, South Africa’s Tyla, who was featured for her song Jump, a track featuring Gunna and Skillibeng.
In addition to the African stars, Nigerian-American singers Shaboozey and Jordan Adetunji also appeared on Obama’s playlist.
Shaboozey’s A Bar Song and Adetunji’s Kehlani were celebrated for their unique sound, adding diversity to the mix.
As expected, the list also featured big names from the global music scene, with legendary artists like Kendrick Lamar, Beyoncé, and Karol G all making an appearance.
These mainstream stars continue to dominate the music industry, but Obama’s inclusion of emerging artists such as Rema and Asake shows his appreciation for a variety of musical genres.
On sharing his list with his followers via X (formerly Twitter), Obama encouraged fans to explore the tracks, saying, “Here are my favorite songs from this year!
Check them out if you’re looking to shake up your playlist, and let me know if there’s a song or artist I should make sure to listen to.”
