Ok, let’s do this.

I like Level Up.

“Don’t be afraid to step into your greatness, people.”

I love how Level Up changes to Alarm Clock. The horns are giving me life.

I’ll have to listen back for the lyrics.

“Way too big” is what he and Leriq teased during that Verzuz.

This is already my stand-out track. Fire.

Bebo. Hmm. I mean, I guess.

So we come to Wonderful now. I like the song because it reminds me of old SA pop songs from Yvonne Chaka-Chaka and Brenda Fassie.

Not my fave sha, but it’s good.

My first impression of Onyeka: it deserves a pared down highlife vibe. The production and the vibe aren’t quite matching for me.

(That make sense?)

I like what he did with Naughty by Nature, but I need to listen again to see if I actually like the song.

First impression of Comma: I’m a fan. Def a gbese and legwork jam.

I like No Fit Vex. A lot.

Leriq is giving me all my fave tracks so far o.

23 is goooooooooooooddddd.

It is no accident that all my fave songs so far are all Burna, no features. Same as African Giant. I like Burna by himself pls.

I was looking forward to getting another Burna x Sauti Sol collabo, and I’m so glad they came together again.

Monsters you made. I like this a lot. This is precisely the song it needs to be.

I hope we get a haunting, beautiful video for Monsters You Made. With Chris Martin playing the keys amidst the ruins.

Wetin dey sup, good.

This second half of the album is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 so far.

Real Life is damn good. And Stormz!

Bank On It is a great note to end on. Nice and chill and self-assured.

Ok, so first listen done. Burna has never sounded more sure. As someone who’s watched him evolve and listened to pretty much everything he’s ever put out, his evolution over the last few years has been a real gift to watch. #TWICEASTALL

Second half of the record is stronger than the first (with the exception of Way Too Big, which is a proper jam) #TWICEASTALL

Fave songs on my first listen: Alarm Clock, Way Too Big, No Fit Vex, 23, Monsters, Real Life.
