Nigerian Afro-fusion star BNXN, formerly Buju, has released his brand new single Cutesy, via EMPIRE, marking his first solo release of the year. Following his 2024 hits like Phenomena and the Rema-assisted Fi Kan We Kan, BNXN continues to solidify his status as one of Nigeria’s most compelling voices with the new track, produced by Jiggy. The single, part of his forthcoming project, arrives after a successful run with his debut album Sincerely, Benson (2023) and the collaborative EP RnB with Ruger.
Cutesy is a melodic love anthem that radiates warmth and affection, blending BNXN’s signature soulful vocals with soft percussion and warm harmonies. The track captures the playful thrill of romance with lyrics like “Cutesy (cutesy), Fun size (fun size), The shit I’ll do for your love, It’s like a movie (movie), Oh my (oh my),” painting a picture of a love so enchanting it feels cinematic. BNXN’s emotional delivery shines as he sings, “I’m sitting here, I’m fucked up, You don’t know me (know me),” revealing vulnerability beneath the song’s sweet exterior. The fusion of Afrobeats rhythms with R&B sensibilities creates a feel-good vibe perfect for cozy, intimate moments.
BNXN, born Daniel Benson in Lagos, has been a force in Afrobeats since his 2019 breakout Spiritual with Zlatan, later collaborating with global stars like Wizkid, Burna Boy, and Dave. His ability to weave raw emotion with infectious grooves, as seen in past hits like Finesse and GWAGWALADA, is on full display here. Cutesy adds to his impressive catalog and sets the stage for his next project, hinting at more explorations of love and connection. With over 2.1 billion career streams, BNXN’s latest release is poised to captivate fans, offering a charming mood that’s hard to resist.
