Nigerian-American artist Kate Odulukwe returns with a bold Afrofusion single “BURNING.”
Inspired by the current global wave of Afrobeats artists like Burna Boy and Davido, and the foundation built by women like Tiwa Savage, BURNING reflects Kate’s desire to both honor and evolve the sound.
Built around the mantra “they no fit quench that fire,” BURNING captures the vibe of being outside at night, fully present, confident, and completely unbothered.
The accompanying video, shot across Harlem in New York City at night, bring this feeling to life. Together, the video and song reflect her dual identity, carved in Nigeria and crafted in NYC.
“This song is inspired by a fun night out in Lagos, though I shot it in NYC. It’s about a feeling more than anything,” Kate explains. “It’s that moment when you’re outside, the vibe and everything is just right, and nothing can touch you. You’re locked in, you’re lit, and you’re not letting anything get in the way of that. That’s what BURNING is.”
