Jorja Smith, an American singer-songwriter, joins Clarks’ experimental Originals division for the first time and reinvents the Desert Nomad, which made a comeback in 2023.

This is not her first partnership with a fashion brand; in 2019, she was introduced as the Dior makeup ambassador.

With Clarks, she cuts off the back to give them a mule-like appearance and dyes the durable EVOLO suede uppers a deep shade of black. The toe boxes and sides are stitched in a coordinating color, and the design is finished with speckled laces, silver hardware, collaborative fobs, and Clarks’ signature crepe soles.

The shoe will be released internationally on October 21 via Clarks and sell for $190 USD (N190,000).

No doubt, this is a solid way to cement her legacy in the fashion world and vice versa for Clarks’ standing in the music industry.

Nigerian musicians Burna Boy and Ayra Starr made Barack Obama’s annual playlist.

The 44th US President, Barack Obama, has a yearly habit of sharing a list of the tunes he listens to throughout the summer, and over the years, some Afrobeats tracks have made the cut.

Obama revealed his summer playlist for 2023 on July 20th, and Grammy-winning Nigerian artist Burna Boy’s most recent single, “Sittin’ On Top Of The World,” made the cut.

Burna Boy isn’t the only Nigerian artist on the list; Ayra Starr’s ‘Sability‘ from 2023 is also featured.

They are included on the playlist, which includes both classic and contemporary songs, along with other international superstars Jorja Smith, SZA, J Hus, Drake, Nas, and Rosalia.

The Former US President took to his social media page to reveal the list he wrote: Like I do every year, here are some songs I’ve been listening to this summer — a mix of old and new. Look forward to hearing what I’ve missed.

Recall, Burna Boy has already appeared on Obama’s yearly summer playlist, with his song ‘Last Last‘ appearing in 2022. ‘Rush’ by Ayra Starr was featured on Obama’s 2022 end-of-year playlist.

Wizkid, Rema, and Tems are among the other Nigerians who have been on Obama’s playlists.

Believe it or not, Burna Boy triumph won at the 63rd ceremony of the Grammy Awards, with his album Twice as Tall on the Best Global Music Album opened door to other Nigerian artistes and help introduce new listeners to Afrobeat.

However, it is his first GRAMMY win in his career, Burna Boy was the first winner of the newly renamed Best World category, which was previously known as Best World.

Also, many people associate Afrobeat with the audacious, flaming, talented multi-instrumentalist and founder of the genre, Fela Kuti.

The Grammy Award is a household name in the United States, It was made to honour American music, not to please the entire globe.

While the category of ‘Best World Music Album’ may be exclusive and make the Grammys appear snobbish, it has also served a purpose that centres on the global music community.

African performers are dissatisfied with the elitism of the Grammy Awards.

The argument for altering the name of the award to “Best World Music Album” is that the word “world” implies that America is not only apart from the rest of the world, but also superior to it.

Burna Boy signed with Bad Habit/Atlantic Records, where it all started in 2017, on this notation, we’ll highlight the records that edge him towards the threshold of the biggest afrobeat artiste of this generation.

Burna Boy released his fourth studio album titled African Giant on July 26, 2019, by Atlantic Records, Warner Music and Spaceship Entertainment.

The album features guest appearances from Damian Marley, Jeremih, Jorja Smith, Future, Zlatan Ibile, and others.

The 19-tracks project was championed by 8 singles, including ‘On the Low’, Killing Dem, and ‘Gbona’ amongst others, he performed “Anybody‘ at Jimmy Kimmel Live! an American late-night talk show.

One year later, he released his fifth studio album titled ‘Twice as Tall‘, a combination of Afrobeats, Afrobeat, dancehall, pop and hip hop, which enlisted guest appearances from Youssou N’Dour, Naughty by Nature, Sauti Sol, Stormzy and Chris Martin.

Executive produced by an American singer and songwriter Diddy and  Bose Ogulu (Mama Burna) 

Burna Boy earned another Grammy nomination with twice as tall making him the first Nigerian with back-to-back nominations at the Grammys.

Burna Boy who is the first Nigerian artiste to earn back to back Grammy nominations will also be the first-ever afrobeat act in history to perform at the event.

This post appeared first on Mp3bullet.ng... Read Original post on How Burna Boy’s Grammy win opened door for other Nigerian artistes.

As the African Giant gears up for the release of his new album, Twice As Tall, we compile the 10 Best Burna Boy Songs from his plethora of international collaborations.

Burna Boy has always been big on international collaborations. From the early days of his career till this time, he’s always reached across genres and eras for his musical collaborators.

This list is therefore dedicated to that part of him, but especially on the international front (on features), where he’s often tapped on account of his talent and versatility.

In the event of Twice As Tall which drops in three days, these are some of the finest Burna Boy collaborations from beyond Africa.

Sam Smith ft. Burna Boy – My Oasis (2020)

In the thick of a lockdown, British singer Sam Smith released a slow-burning love record, featuring Burna Boy.

Written by Jimmy Napes, both artists combine their unique vocals to deliver a timeless record.

“This track has been a beautiful release of emotions for me during this time,” Sam Smith said in a statement. “I’ve been a fan of for years now and am so happy to have a tune with him.”

Dave ft. Burna Boy – Location (2019)

A classic Summer anthem, Dave’s “Location” is the lightest song off his 2019 opus Psychodrama, filled with technical rap shows and vivid imagery steeped in uncomfortable real-life experiences.

Burna Boy brings some Afro Pop credence to Dave’s party-themed bars and “Location,” given its replay value, has become perhaps the most memorable Dave record.

Stormzy Ft. Ed Sheeran & Burna Boy – Own It (2019)

Set to appear on “Real Life” off Twice As Tall, Stormzy enjoys a great relationship with Burna Boy, although “Own It” is the first song between both.

A Summer classic, “Own It” followed the massive success of Burna’s fourth album African Giant and also served as the first single off Stormzy’s own project, Heavy Is The Head. 

Pop Smoke ft. Burna Boy – Enjoy Yourself [Remix] (2020)

American Drill superstar Pop Smoke passed at the age of 20, ending a life and career that was headed for greatness.

However, family and friends have made efforts to immortalize him, and one of such is the release of his first posthumous album Shoot For The Stars, Aim For The Moon which featured iconic artists and buzzing names like 50 Cent and Roddy Ricch.

On the deluxe, Nigerian stars Davido and Burna Boy feature, the latter putting in an impressive shift with his rapping on “Enjoy Yourself,” a chill bop driven by the baritones of Pop and Burna.  

Jorja Smith ft. Burna Boy – Be Honest (2019)

British R&B and Pop artist Jorja Smith collaborated on African Giant’s “Gum Body,” a fan favorite that flexed Burna’s prowess with romantic bops.

The favor was then returned on (again, a love duet) “Be Honest,” released weeks after AG.

It was the singer’s first single after the Grammy-nominated album Lost & Found (2018).

In June, the song went platinum in France, hours after it was announced that Burna Boy had topped Billboard’s list of 15 Sub-Saharan African artists, based on global views.

Major Lazer ft. Burna Boy – All My Life (2018)

Major Lazer has long revealed an interest in the sounds coming out of Africa. Two years ago, they concretized this with the release of Africa Is The Future, a tape that featured some of the best artists from Africa.

Burna Boy –who since then has featured on Beyoncé’s tape similarly, on a track of his own– featured on that tape, on “All My Life,” a gritty record which espoused on his unique life experiences (“before I turned twenty one I was already savaged out), sung authoritatively over the electronic flourishes of Major Lazer.

Mahalia ft. Burna Boy – Simmer (2019)

Off UK singer Mahalia’s debut EP Love and Compromise came “Simmer,” a song that’s been described as “effortlessly infectious, diaphanous, and iridescent.”

Over a warm production with splashes of Reggaeton and Reggae, Mahalia and Burna Boy play opposite ends of a lover duo, detailing a relationship that will be less than ideal if more’s demanded than given.

J Hus ft. Burna Boy – Play Play (2020)

When J Hus came out of prison to release an album, that body of work was ostensibly personal, packing minutes of introspection via Hus’ trademark delivery.

Although a marked difference from his earlier fusions with Afro Pop, J Hus still teamed with collaborator and friend Burna Boy for “Play Play,” a record which, as the title suggests, is a breezy fun record held down by two of the most commanding musical voices we know.

DJ Snake ft. Burna Boy– No Option (2019)

Rihanna might have wanted the beat for DJ Snake’s “No Option” (from Carte Blanche) but there’s no doubt Burna Boy rode the production perfectly.

No doubt Reggae is a most influential genre to Burna and over a thumping Dubstyle beat with visceral drums and bass, the Nigerian superstar excites, talking his sh*t as usual.

DADJU ft. Burna Boy – Donne-moi l’accord

Late 2019, French singer and songwriter DADJU put out a record with Burna Boy, off his Poison album.

“Donne-moi l‘accord” is produced by Kel P and on the bouncy beat, both artists trade braggadocio lines, a narrative held on the video. For context, the French title loosely translates to “give me the agreement.”

camp as “Personally (Remix)” alongside Burna Boy & Kalado.

Fall Out Boy ft. Burna Boy – Sunshine Riptide

Now, this is one collaboration that stunned virtually everyone. I mean… Fall Out Boy…and Burna Boy…? It turns out Pete Wentz (band vocalist and bassist) was a Burna fan.

In an interview with HMV.com, Pete explained: “I’m a big fan of the scene that’s happening with hip-hop in Lagos, with him and Mr Eazi.

So we hit him up and just let him know that we are fans. The rest came together pretty easily.

In fact, not even close anymore. The young singer just bagged a Recording Academy nomination for the 62nd Grammy’s, and even though the show is still upcoming, Burna Boy has already won. Maybe not the award (yet), but no doubt he’s won.

“African Giant”, the album he dropped a couple of months back, that had all the good stuff (“Dangote”, “Anybody”, “Pull Up”) and also featured top dawgs like Damian Marley, Jorja Smith, and YG. The album which is classified under “afrobeats”, “afro-pop” and “afro-fusion” is one of, if not the best project from a mainstream artist this year. And pretty soon, we might just have a Grammy to show for it.

• SEE ALSO: Burna Boy; A Great Competitor To Wizkid & Davido in 2019

What does this mean for industry, anyway? Burna getting nominated, prospects of winning the first Gramophone? To start with, this nomination goes a long way to tell us that afro really is the key and Nigerian artists might not even need to tune their sounds and sound ‘international’ before getting attention, overseas.

Before Burna Boy, Wizkid almost got a Grammy back in ’16, for his contribution to Drake’s biggest work to date, “Views.” But the days leading up to that, were days of Wizkid doing the groundwork, finessing his sound, evolving and possibly changing his whole creative process. The Ojuelegba boy had to be heard. Chances are, as a raw Afro-pop wunderkind, the best he would have been was Nigeria’s best.

• SEE ALSO: Burna Boy finally reacts to threats by South Africans

Although story seems far-fetched, before Wizkid, D’banj has also been noted for bringing the African sound to the international front, back when he was in his peak. But really, we all know what he did, he took the African face abroad, made some money, maybe, but the sound didn’t stick.

Fast forward to a few years after and Wiz was doing things, Tiwa Savage was getting signed by Jay-Z (recently Mo’town), even alté artists like Odunsi are signing international deals. That period was when the work was being done and Nigerian music was gaining the recognition it deserved.

And though, it doesn’t seem like that, a Grammy Award is imminent. “African Giant” happened to come at the right time, when Burna was a powerhouse and he was topping the charts, effortlessly. There was no struggle between him and any other artist, in fact, he was even getting support from out there.

The album also put on some great guys who are making stuff happen abroad. YG, for example, is one of the most featured artists in 2019 (in the US, of course) and Angelique Kidjo is a Grammy favorite. Damian is the son of late Reggae Legend, Bob Marley and also a star himself while M.anifest is one of the hottest on the Ghanaian rap scene. Zlatan Ibile was also hot on the streets.

All that put together, and we have a Grammy nomination in front of us and it’s not just for Burna’s contribution to someone else’s work, it’s for his own project, our project! In the long run, what this means to the industry is that the labor of our heroes past (from Fela to KSA, to 2baba to D’banj to Wizkid) finally isn’t in vain. This is just the beginning!
