BNXN – “CAPTAIN Album
Nigerian music sensation BNXN (formerly known as Buju) has officially released his sophomore studio album, CAPTAIN, under T.Y.E and EMPIRE, setting a new benchmark in Afro-Fusion and global Afrobeats.
The 16-track project, launched on June 30, 2025, is already making waves with its blend of Afrobeats, Afro-Fusion, R&B, and pop, highlighting BNXN’s sonic growth and lyrical depth.
🏴☠️ Why “CAPTAIN”?
In an exclusive Grammy interview, BNXN revealed the inspiration behind the album title:
“‘Captain’ was a name my friends used to call me to give me this sense of leadership. But while making the album, I saw myself as this pirate — this captain sailing across the vast ocean of the music industry, especially in Nigeria.”
He went on to describe the album as “very personal” and admitted he was hesitant to release a single ahead of the album’s full drop due to its cohesive structure:
“It felt like removing a block from a solid building.”
