“Sittin’ On Top Of The World” serves as his first official single for 2023, Burna Boy samples Brandy’s classic hit- ‘On Top Of The World’ just like he sampled Toni Braxton for his first 2022 single, ‘Last Last‘.
Released in 2022 as one of the lead singles off Burna Boy’s 6th album ‘Love, Damini’, ‘Last Last’ quickly became an international smash hit, spending multiple weeks on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number 44 and selling over a million units in sales in the United States to position Burna Boy for his second RIAA platinum plaque after his 2018 smash hit ‘YE’.
With the successes of her multi-platinum albums ‘Brandy,’ ‘Never Say Never’ and her third album ‘Full Moon,’ Brandy Norwood received the nickname “The Vocal Bible” for her distinct tone, intricate runs, and the way she harmonizes to create a vocal symphony. The multi-talented singer, songwriter, actress, and producer has inspired many artists in the R&B, pop, and gospel genres as well as African American actors in film, television, and on Broadway.
Burna Boy goes all the way up on the sample of Brandy’s “On Top Of The World”, which was one of his favorite songs he use to listen to while growing up. Enjoy the jam below;
