On the cusp of the release of his fourth studio album, ‘African Giant’, this Friday, every move involving Burna Boy has only served to swell the hype for a potentially event-like release. In this month alone, he’s been handpicked as Apple Music’s ‘Up Next’ artist, and very recently nabbed a solo spot on the Beyonce-curated ‘The Lion King: The Gift’. Adding to the list of pre-album achievements, the singer has just made a debut appearance on primetime comedy/talk show, ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’, hosted by popular TV personality Jimmy Kimmel.

Joining artists like Koffee and Taylor Bennett, Burna Boy is the latest artist to be spotlighted on the show’s ongoing concert series. For his short set, the singer, alongside his frequent live band The Kingsmen, performed his infectiously ebullient hit single, “Anybody”, to a seemingly delighted audience. To convey the song’s festive energy and summertime vibe, the stage is iridescently lit, with beach sand laid across the floor. Given the limited space left, Burna mostly sticks to the microphone stand at the centre of the stage, but his vigour radiates through, with his dance moves and the energy he imbues each melody with.
