    Despite the cockiness of its title, his songs remain pleasingly mellow and eclectic, working through a range of styles (highlife, dancehall, Afro-Cuban) and delivering memorable hooks and melodies with the confidence of his status.

    Burna Boy has more than established himself; I Told Them is an adventurous promise that he won’t become complacent.

    The songs on I Told Them… are sharply written but at times also tender, balancing seriousness with moments of levity. .... The album would have gone off without a hitch if Burna hadn’t decided to close it out by taking a shot at the people in his home country. On “Thank You,” an admittedly club-ready Afro-pop number, he accuses his fellow Nigerians of being ungrateful for what he’s done for the country’s image.
