Bnxn Captain (Red)

With CAPTAIN, Bnxn takes the wheel. The Nigerian singer-songwriter has always blurred the lines between afrobeats, R&B, and soulful introspection-but this time, he's driving with full control, no co-pilot. The album marks a defining moment for Bnxn (pronounced "Benson"): a confident, fully-formed statement from an artist who's learned to trust his instincts, sharpen his pen, and follow his own creative compass.From the cinematic opener to the late-night confessionals tucked between glossy hooks, CAPTAIN feels like a diary written at cruising altitude. Bnxn threads personal stories through rich instrumentation-balancing Yoruba and English lyrics, weaving between amapiano pulses, stripped-down ballads, and smoky alt-R&B. Standout moments find him unpacking fame's isolations, questioning loyalty, and wrestling with what it means to lead without losing yourself. There's growth in every verse, not just in what he says, but how he says it: sharper, more intentional, and wholly unafraid to take risks. This is Bnxn unfiltered-charting new territory without ever losing sight of home.1xLP, pressed on Red Marbled Vinyl. Limited to 500.
