<h2>Burna Boy is one of the artists exporting Nigerian music to the world through his compelling talent that has seen him win multiple awards and sold-out choice venues.</h2>

<p>In a recent interview with Apple Music ahead of the release of his seventh album<strong><em>&nbsp;'I Told Them'</em></strong>, Burna Boy described Nigerian mainstream music generally called Afrobeats as a music that lacks substance.</p>

<p>In a conversation with Apple Music Zane Lowe, Burna Boy said that Afrobeats offers no substance and it's simply about giving a good time and that's not all that music should be about.</p>

<p>"<em>Afrobeats as you people call it is mostly about nothing. There's no substance to it and nobody is talking about anything. It's just about having a great time,"</em> Burna Boy says.</p>

<p>According to the Grammy winner, music should not only be about a good time because life is not always a good time.</p>

<p><em>"At the end of the day, life is not an amazing time. No matter how nice of a time you have now, or you had at some point, or you plan to have, you're still going to face life. For me, I feel like music should be the essence of an artist and an artist is a person who has good days, bad days, great days, and worst days."&nbsp;</em></p>

<p>Burna Boy maintains that he uses his music to share his essence and his album is a window through which listeners can see some of that essence.</p>

<p>Burna Boy is set to release his seventh album<strong><em>&nbsp;'I Told Them'</em></strong>&nbsp;on August 25, 2023, and in the interview, Burna Boy describes the album as another glimpse into his mindset.</p>
