The Track Breakdown
“Already” serves as a masterclass in modern Afrobeats synergy, bringing together the velvety, storytelling vocals of BNXN (formerly Buju) and the legendary, forward-thinking production of Sarz. Far from your standard club banger, “Already” is a mid-tempo, atmospheric groove that leans into the “Alté” side of the Nigerian music scene—prioritizing mood and texture over aggressive percussion.

The Collaboration
BNXN: Known for his unique ability to float over any rhythm, BNXN delivers a performance characterized by melodic precision. His lyrics weave a tale of instant attraction and the “done deal” nature of a brewing romance—hence the title, Already.
Sarz: Often hailed as one of the greatest producers out of Africa, Sarz moves away from his high-energy “Sarz Academy” sound here. He opts for minimalist synths, deep bass pockets, and a rhythmic skeleton that allows the vocals to breathe and the listener to sink into the track’s “vibey” aesthetic.
