There’s something deeply satisfying about hearing an artist operate at the height of their confidence, and Burna Boy’s “Update” is exactly that. A sonic flex wrapped with constant delivery and with the kind of ease that only comes from years of proving yourself.
“Update” is a track that delivers well. In an era where artists often overcomplicate things, Burna keeps it straightforward. Take a classic sample, add some undeniable bars, and let your confidence carry the rest. It’s the kind of track that feels equally at home in a club, in your headphones during a solo walk, or as the soundtrack to your own personal highlight reel.
