Burna Boy - Love, Damini ft. Ladysmith Black Mambazo
Closing out his Love, Damini album, Burna Boy collaborates with legendary South African vocal group Ladysmith Black Mambazo on the title track Love, Damini.
The song brims with introspection and emotional depth, as Burna Boy reflects on his journey, flaws, and the lessons learned along the way. It’s a deeply personal piece, almost like a farewell note, where he acknowledges both his triumphs and mistakes.
Anchored by Ladysmith Black Mambazo’s rich, harmonious vocals, the production shines with the pulse of Afrobeats, while weaving in the spiritual resonance of Isicathamiya (traditional Zulu choral music) and the warmth of Soul.
Infused with this trio — Afrobeats, Isicathamiya, Soul — Love, Damini lands as a heartfelt closing anthem, blending Burna Boy’s Afro‑fusion artistry with Ladysmith Black Mambazo’s timeless choral tradition, leaving listeners with a sense of reflection and closure.

Love, Damini Lyrics:
Everything be off the top these days
I ain't write shit since my early days
And inside these veins, my blood, my DNA
Burna Boy, but I'm Johnny Blaze
Ayy, yeah, there's things that I hardly say
"How you been, mama? How's your day?"
I should talk to my granddaddy more before it's too late
Listen more to things that Roni says
Should have been by Buki's side when her mother died
Should have talked to Sound Sultan more before he fuckin' died
I should show people more love while they still alive
I should always know the way my people feel inside
A lot of times, I feel my life's in a blender
So, I tell it black-and-white like a panda
Yes, I agree I'ma start makin' changes, yeah
Tryna be a better man, I been tryin'
I got it all, but I still got my anger
Been workin' hard tryna get rid of my anger
Love, Damini
