Olamide aims at continuing the impressive yearly run of project releasing he embarked on in 2011 with “Rapsodi” down to “Carpe Diem” (2020) with the only exception being the year 2019.

Olamide’s last album “Carpe Diem” still gets heavy rotation plays on DSPs, TV and Radio but him announcing the release of his to be eight studio album, UY Scuti does not come as surprise as fans are now accustomed to the yearly ritual of putting out a body of work

The term UY Scuti originates from the study of stars and this is duly represented on the album art work through the large star standing atop the bodly written “UY SCUTI”. UY Scuti is to be released on June 14, 2021.

A fan on Twitter by the handle – @khevo_ asked Burna Boy a question every fan is eager to find answer to, the question was as plain, simple and clear as it could be, it read, “Are we having an album this year? @burnaboy” to which Burna who has been off Twitter for a while surprisingly quoted the fan’s tweet with the reply.

Although, the tweet containing Burna Boy’s reply is now deleted, he did answer: “Same time as last year. No worry”, hinting at an August release for his sixth studio album, just as he did release Twice As Tall “same time” “last year” August.

Burna Boy is projected to release another album in 2021 following 2020’s success story of his last studio album. Expectations are also high as fans expect him to release another grand masterpiece album which would contend for yet another Grammy awards.
