Burhan G is the third studio album from the Danish R&B singer Burhan G which was released on 12 April 2010 at Copenhagen Records. This is however his first Danish language album after two all-English language albums Playground in 2004 and Breakout in 2007. The album Burhan G was developed with the collaboration of Rasmus Seebach and Nik & Jay and producers Jon & Jules (Jon Andersson Ørom and Johannes Jules Wolfson) of Nexus. The album reached #2 in the Danish Albums Chart making it the most successful album thus far of Burhan G.
The album's first single, "Kun dig" (translated as "Only You") came in late May 2008. The second single "Jeg vil ha' dig for mig selv" (translated as "I Want You for Myself") followed in June 2009. It was written in collaboration with Rasmus Seebach, and samples Milli Vanilli's 1988 hit "Girl You Know It's True". Parts of the lyrics are taken from Nik & Jay's "I Love Ya". In November 2009, Nik & Jay released a version with their own vocals. On 8 March 2010 the third single from the album "Mest Ondt" (translated as "What Hurts the Most"). The song was written by Burhan G and Sarah West and featured the guest singer Medina. The song was Burhan G's first ever number one hit on the Hitlisten, the Danish Singles Chart. Following the big success of the song, Burhan G released yet another single from the album "Tættere på himlen" (translated as "Closer to Heaven") this time featuring Nik & Jay, which again reached #1 in the Danish charts.
Burhan G explains his reasoning behind making the album in Danish in a press release: "I made this record in Danish mainly because I love music and because I love all the different ways of expressing them. I had made English albums so far. But then I began to delve into old Danish pop classics from various artists like Kim Larsen and Sanne Salomonsen and many others and took on myself to convey myself this way".[1]
