Global music sensation Burna Boy has once again cemented his status as a trailblazer in the world of Afrofusion with the release of his highly anticipated eighth studio album, No Sign of Weakness. Officially released on July 11, 2025, the album showcases a rich fusion of Afrobeat, rock, country, and hip-hop elements—pushing the boundaries of African music on a global scale.

With a power-packed lineup of guest appearances—including Rolling Stones legend Mick Jagger, American rap superstar Travis Scott, genre-blending country artist Shaboozey, and Belgian singer-songwriter Stromae—the 15-track project is already gaining critical acclaim across continents.

The album opens with the introspective yet anthemic track “Fearless,” setting the tone for a journey through resilience, rebellion, love, and cultural pride. Tracks like “Fire on My Back” featuring Travis Scott and “Desert Wine” with Stromae reveal Burna’s evolving sound, while “Royalty” featuring Mick Jagger delivers an unexpected Afro-rock anthem.

No Sign of Weakness is being hailed as Burna Boy’s most daring and international project yet, blending live instrumentation with slick production and deeply personal lyrics. Speaking about the album in an interview, Burna Boy said, “This album is for the ones who never had it easy. We rise. We shine. We keep going with no sign of weakness.”

The release has received nods from international outlets, with Pitchfork listing it in their “Best New Music” roundup and Complex describing it as “an African-rooted, genre-defying triumph.”

But Burna Boy isn’t stopping there. In support of the album, the Grammy-winning artist has announced his No Sign of Weakness World Tour, set to kick off this November. The tour will feature a cutting-edge 360° immersive stage experience, promising fans an audiovisual spectacle unlike anything seen before in Afrobeats touring history.

Tour dates and pre-sale tickets will be announced in the coming weeks, with stops expected across Lagos, Johannesburg, London, New York, Paris, and Berlin.

Fans and critics alike are calling the album a bold move in both sound and messaging. With No Sign of Weakness, Burna Boy continues to position himself not just as a Nigerian icon, but as a truly global voice reshaping how African music is perceived and consumed.
