Grammy award winner, Burna Boy has released the cover of his much-anticipated 6th studio album- Love, Damini.
The birthday-themed cover shows Burna Boy wearing a black suit on a white shirt; with several candles laced around two beautiful-looking cakes.
The album is set to be released on Friday, July 8th – a week after he celebrated his 31st year birthday.
The cover was shot by a Nigerian/American Photographer and Creative
Director, Mikey Oshai.
He disclosed that the project would highlight his personal struggles.
Love, Damini is a personal body of work. It’s about the ups and downs, the
growth, the L’s and W’s.
“I’m excited to share this journey and roll it out with you all,” he had
written.
Burna Boy recently released the full tracklist of the album which features a guest appearance from Ed Sheeran, Popcaan, Victony, J Balvin, Blxst, JHus,
Kehlani, Ladysmith, and Black Mambazo.
The 19-track album includes already released songs “Kilometre” and
international hit/chart-topping single-“Last Last”; which Burna Boy revealed in
an interview that American R & B star Toni Braxton gets 60% of the royalties
from the song- a sample of Braxton’s 2000 R&B hit, ‘He Wasn’t Man
Enough’.
