[The Music Blog] Buzz Review: Set the mood for your weekend with Juls and Burna Boy on “Gwarn”

An impressive record originating from prior success Mr Eazi is all anyone needs to know about British born Ghanaian producer, Juls. And for his collaborator on “Gwarn”? You decidedly get an artist inherently set on an Afrobeat and Caribbean music style he dubs as ‘Afro-Fusion’.

“Gwarn”, the track title, is a contraction of the word ‘Go On’. A patois vocal sample that opens the track already hints the sexual central theme, but Burna Boy goes into detail, simultaneously teasing and encouraging his love interest to seek (him) the object of her desire.

“Gwarn” surfaces on Burna Boy and Juls’ catalogue as an addition to their divergent but recent expansion efforts on the British Afrobeat scene. Juls predetermines this fact with the same crisp production guides much of the work leading to his Leap of Faith EP. Burna Boy embodies the same sensual laid-back flow reminiscent of “Rock Your Body”, an earlier release from this year, produced by his collaborator on “Gwarn”. Some of that chemistry from their earlier work together is retained with soft drums and a guitar-led baseline here, for a track crafted from the onset for mood-setting and genre-blending.
