Everyone had different opinions about Burna Boy’s delivery on Jerusalemma remix. Here’s our review about it.

What was your first impression when you listened to Jerusalemma remix?

Maybe this is the first time we all will collectively praise Burna Boy’s input on a song. We might be at loggerheads with his personality, but when it comes to talents, Burna perhaps trumps his peers.

Because. What?!

He transformed this song. He took it from a mid-level it was and upgraded it. Let’s start with the intro.

The beat is a masterpiece, one made from the prevalent Gqom, South African house genre. On this throbbing percussive beat, Burna swerves in with the coolest of vibes. You notice he’s entered the fray, but it’s just so sweet you’re not even distracted. He slips in seamlessly with no discomfort. What’s surprising is he’s singing in Zulu.

When the beat approaches 0:47, there’s an uplift in the tempo, yet Burna Boy maintains this coolness and switches to singing in English. The transition is wondrous.

What will grab everyone’s attention is when he enters the local groove. At 1:33. Crooning with a husky voice in Yoruba,

To’n bá ka ? m? woro (Woro)
Odi woro si woro (Woro)

The call and response technique is so beautiful.

The fact that he could be able to blend in three languages and settle in an atmosphere and genre alien to him certifies him as a versatile act.

Even Master KG, owner of the track was stunned.

“He brings the Nigerian flavour, gimmicks, pidgin English and a different approach to music. He had the Nigerian groove that we mix with South African style while we keep the originality of the song intact.” He said.

So Guys,
