Burna Boy is back with his first single since the release of his well-received sophomore album Outside, and he doesn't disappoint.

Fresh of the heels of his standout collaboration with Major Lazer, The Nigerian 'afro-fusion' musician brings the literal heat on his latest banger "Gbona," which is the Yoruba word for "hot." "Oluwa Burna mo gbona feli," he sings throughout the boisterous 3-minute track.

Burna delivers, his familiar free-style sounding vocals atop infectious production, which includes a crisp baseline and simmering saxophone, giving the song a warm, jazzy feel—slightly reminiscent of Fela Kuti's trademarked afrobeat sound.

Since the release of Outside, Burna has shared several memorable collaborations, including "Baba Nla" also featuring with D'Banj and 2Baba as well as a massive freestyle over Ramz's grime single "Barking."

Burna Boy is currently touring the UK. Catch him at these dates.
