Every Song On His Debut Album "Sincerely, Benson" Is Broken Down By BNXN.

Through exquisite lyrics, this debut album presents a sequence of raw realisations, giving us access to his deepest feelings and thoughts.

Motivated by his experiences with his surroundings, celebrity, spirituality, and romance, Benson’s Sincere conveys the outcomes of Bnxn’s introspection, incorporating elements of Amapiano, gospel, dancehall, and indie music with his signature Afro-fusion sound. He says, “There are songs for acceptance, heartbreak, solemnity, and reflection.” It’s a feel-good experience since I wanted to make people happy at the same time.

Daniel Benson, aka Bnxn, goes over the standout songs from his album on Apple Music.

“My Life”

This song seems to be intended for artists by artists. Some things that happen to us are beyond the scope of most people’s comprehension or awareness. It’s your life, so you simply have to fight through it. In this deeply intimate composition, I discuss the days when I have nothing at all but am still Daniel.

Everything in this room is focused on you, and you are the center of attention. Some are concerned enough to think that our friendship is something we should maintain, while others use it as a chance to show off. I was attempting to analyze these items. I had to write that down as I had no idea how many other individuals might experience similar feelings.

‘Maximum Damage’ (feat. Headie One)

I’m supporting the idea that there will be a sudden explosion of sound with “Maximum Damage.” It will be enormous and captivate everyone on the planet. It is simultaneously a prayer and a prophecy. I’m telling God and myself that I deserve everything wonderful in this world and that it will come to me. I was trying to convey how difficult it is to get where I am coming from when I said, “If they can’t have it, you can’t have it.” Many people are envious, but they don’t quite get the amount of time and effort you’ve put into perfecting your particular skill. We’re just trying to improve ourselves and the sound in a way that everyone can hear.

‘Mukulu’

“I’ve been really serious throughout the recordings. “Mukulu” served as a respite to let folks know that I still have a fun side. The word “mukulu” means “get loose,” “enjoy yourself,” or “have fun.” Let go of whatever is causing you anxiety right now. We occasionally need to convince ourselves that things will get better and we won’t pass away just yet.

‘GWAGWALADA’ (with Kizz Daniel & Seyi Vibez)

“Amapiano arrived in Nigeria [from South Africa], attained a certain level, and hasn’t left since! It has reached the stage where we have given it a makeover. We have extracted a great deal of value from it. Really, all I can say is “thank you”; house music is like this bop for you. Although I haven’t visited Gwagwalada yet, I’ve heard good things about it; it’s not a very well-liked location. I was attempting to explain the transition from a highly valued state to a highly valued state. Location really influences the type of music I choose to create.

What you hear in the clubs, on the streets, or from the next man singing has an impact on you. That’s why I enjoy observing my surroundings when I travel. When you just stop and think about it, you can learn a great deal.

‘Pidgin & English’

The song “No Regrets,” a 2016 single by MAGIC!, is sampled there. and as soon as I heard it, I thought, “This really captures the relationship I was in.” Even though this song is really beautiful, I don’t listen it twice because it’s really deep. It’s a highly personal essay that examines what went down the night I cheated. I had a one-night stand in Stockholm that ended badly for me. It’s extremely vulnerable because you have to acknowledge your actions before you can apologize, ask for forgiveness, and show regret. It wasn’t meant to go this way, and I own that I made a mistake. I apologize for not being able to apologize in person.

‘Sweet Tea (Aduke)’

Know what was absurd? I was absolutely enamored with the flutes, and even after finishing this song, I didn’t hear the sample of Wyclef Jean’s 2007 single “Sweetest Girl (Dollar Bill).” It eluded me! I played it for a buddy once, and he mentioned that it made him think of a song. I was like, “Whaaaat!” when he began singing, “Some live for the bill, some kill for the bill.” I worked with the sensation it was giving me and decided to still refer to it as “sweet tea.” This is a fantasy’s soundtrack. The story is about wanting this girl to wake up and realize that she belongs somewhere else—with you.

‘Realize’ (feat. taves)

“I was like, ‘Bro, what are you on?'” when Taves gave me this, which he recorded in the kitchen, incidentally. He was talking about how he was messed up by love when he was younger, how he fell in love again, and how that love affected him again. This song takes full responsibility for its actions and emphasizes the purpose of the endeavor while acknowledging that it was not perfect.

‘Party Don’t Stop’

“Party Don’t Stop” was released during the epidemic year of 2020. I shared housing with LeriQ, Burna [Boy], and a few members of the group. For me, that time was about mentoring because we were working in the studio every day. I heard Sam Smith’s song “Money on My Mind” one night and immediately thought, “I need to make something like this.” It had a quiet, yet raw, rave-like feel. You get the impression that you’re in a motion picture. It moves slowly at first, then you have to sprint up and down, and then it stops again, much like in a circus. It’s an emotional roller coaster.

‘Right Energy’

“I like to take you through a number of somber subjects before returning you to the Nigerian music you are accustomed to.” This upbeat album was inspired by the desire to remember Nigeria—both our hometown and the genre of music that is popular there. When it’s time to have fun, I channel that energy, which we call gbedu.

‘PRAY’

I was thinking back on my trip and my progress while listening to “PRAY.” That kind of material makes you feel afraid and uncertain. “Will it get better, and what would happen if I fell?” That’s when I have to constantly remind myself that I am a part of a greater power. In this song, I’m pleading with God to help me on the path I’ve chosen for myself.

‘Say My Name’

“We used to have different chants in Lagos primary school that were reminiscent of children’s stories like ‘Old MacDonald.'” We used to play a game called “My Name,” where you would sing, “My name, my name, my name,” while the other kids formed a circle around you. Everyone would say “Pamuregeji” in answer to calls for them, and then they would ask to see their best friend. Choose a friend, invite them into the circle, and start dancing together. This song expresses the idea that you should always be there for the person you are with, no matter what happens.

‘Regret’ (feat. 2Baba)

“Pidgin & English” has a companion work called “Regret.” It has unparalleled accountability and is self-reflective. It’s all my fault. The legendary 2Baba requested that we record this song on the same day that I gave it to him! If you are familiar with his past, this is him clearing things up. He explained to me the meaning of the song and expressed gratitude for this platform to share his true feelings. He was the ideal match.

‘Final Answer’ (feat. Popcaan)

“This song affirms my goals for the future and for me. I’m stating unequivocally that I know why I’m doing this, and it will become clear in due course. Even before anything occurs, I need people to understand that. All I want to do is keep going and developing. Everything has simply progressed; nothing has changed.
