Jul 15, 2025All through No Sign of Weakness, Burna Boy strikes a balance between catchy tunes and in-your-face lyrics, showing he’s not backing down and is as strong as ever, no matter what challenges come his way.
-
Jul 15, 2025A jungle of genres, which includes an impressive throng of featured artists, from the moody and sultry ‘Ta Ta Ta’ which sees the somewhat controversial Travis Scott dip into focus, and infectious country bop ‘Change Your Mind’ which ushers in the likes of Shaboozey, to Rolling Stones rock icon Mick Jagger.
-
Aug 4, 2025Seemingly willing to dip a toe in every genre. It's certainly interesting, and often successful, though a sense of continuity is missing from the album as a whole, which feels almost like an anthology. Still, there are plenty of highlights.
-
Jul 15, 2025‘No Signs Of Weakness’ plays more like a curated playlist of experiments rather than a fully realised body of work: it lacks direction, the momentum sputters, and even some of the more ambitious tracks could’ve used another round of sculpting.
-
Jul 16, 2025The songs where Burna Boy focuses on nimble flows and minimal production, like Dem Dey and Kabiyesi, are far superior. He’s a versatile, engaging performer, and No Signs Of Weakness is at its best with no distractions.
-
Jul 15, 2025It’s emblematic of the album itself, which sees Burna Boy unsure whether he wants to be a gangster or a lothario. Fortunately, there’s just enough highs here to justify the listen.
-
Jul 17, 2025Lyrically, the songs cling to familiar themes of loyalty, betrayal, and soured romance, but the writing feels hollow. Repetition, once a rhythmic weapon in his songwriting, becomes a crutch and registers as filler.
