BNXN – “Captain” Album.
The second album, CAPTAIN, by Nigerian singer-songwriter BNXN, who shed his Buju name like a snake shedding its skin, is now available for purchase.
CAPTAIN, which originated from a childhood nickname that alluded to innate leadership, is BNXN’s most sensitive artistic statement to date. Where he made his 2023 debut, Sincerely, Benson gave us a glimpse into his world; this follow-up album takes us inside his head, where success and hardship coexist harmoniously.
Each track on the album is a precisely calculated coordinate on BNXN’s emotional map, demonstrating the album’s purposeful architecture. With the assurance of an experienced traveler, he traverses genre boundaries, fusing the raw honesty of hip-hop, R&B sensuality, and Afro-fusion invention with the DNA of Afrobeats. It’s the sound of an artist who defies traditional bounds; it’s not fusion for the sake of fusion.
The list of guests is a veritable who’s who of modern African music aristocracy. Rema’s appearance on Fi Kan We Kan is magical because it brings together two generations of talented people who trade verses like chess masters do. Victony’s contribution to Cough Syrup shows the smooth connection between Nigeria’s new school elite, while Seyi Vibez contributes his streetwise lyrics to the project.
BNXN Drops Second Album “Captain,” a Bold and Vulnerable Project That Explores His Journey From Buju to a True Musical Leader.
With its production radiating the warmth of Lagos afternoons and BNXN’s vocals floating effortlessly over a percussion that feels alive, Phenomena emerges as a sun-drenched anthem. The song perfectly captures the main idea of the album, which is the phenomenon of both professional and personal growth.
