New York Times list Burna Boy’s ‘Twice As Tall’ as 7th best album of 2020 across the world

American daily newspaper, New York Times, has joined the top media house’s leagues to recognize Burna Boy on the great work out in his album ‘Twice As Tall’ as it’s ranked number seven in the world.

It would be recalled that Burna Boy released the album some months ago, and it has

become one of the most-streamed albums of 2020 across all streaming platforms.

The album has earlier been recognized by the Recording Academy who nominated it for

Best Global Music Album Of The Year at the upcoming 63rd Grammy Award Show.

‘Twice As Tall’ has now been ranked among the best album of 2020 in a list that saw 

Taylor Swift, Sufjan Stevens, Moses Sumney, and some other big artists listed.

Writing about Burna Boy’s album, the New York Times wrote:

The Nigerian songwriter Burna Boy calls his music Afro-fusion, not the more specifically Nigerian term Afrobeats, and “Twice as Tall” lives up to that broader mandate with a profusion of sleek, diverse, constantly inventive grooves that traverse Africa and its diaspora.

Through its 15 songs, Burna Boy is by turns exuberant, pensive, confessional and political.

The bitter, furious single he released soon after nonviolent anti-corruption protesters were killed by soldiers, “20 10 20,” made a compelling postscript.
