Nigerian singer Davido has released his highly anticipated fourth studio album timeless via Columbia Records.
‘Timeless’ sees Davido bring together the sounds that have shaped his 11-year career so far. While homing in on his Afrobeats foundations with tracks such as “Feel”, “Godfather” and “Precision”; childhood influences of R& B and Rap can be heard across “In The Garden Ft. Morravey”, “Bop Ft. Dexta Daps” and “U (Juju) Ft. Skepta”; and with nods to Amapiano on “Unavailable Ft. Musa Keys” and hit single “Champion Sound Ft. Focalistic”.
Other features across the 17-track project include Angelique Kidjo, Asake, The Cavemen, and Logos Olori.
The album is his first studio release since his critically acclaimed 2020 project ‘A Better Time’.
Meanwhile, Davido has continued to deliver hit singles.
2021 saw star collaborations including his remix of Focalistic’s breakthrough Amapiano single “Ke Star”, as well as the Afrobeat anthem “High” with Adekunle Gold.
2022 was an even more momentous year with singles “Watawi”, “Electricity” and “Stand Strong (9+)” and Davido’s feature across the lead single from the Fifa Official World Cup Soundtrack, “Hayya Hayya (BetterTogether)”, which he performed at the closing ceremony.
Davido describes ‘Timeless’ as:
"Timeless is a body of work that goes beyond fashion and trends it’s an authentic body of work that remains true to my core as an artist- using my music to bring joy to my fans across the world. The songs you hear today will be just as relevant tomorrow."
Last week Davido also announced, ‘A Timeless Night With Davido,’ a one-off show in London’s iconic venue Koko on the 5th of April. This intimate and special event will be a chance for fans to see Davido like they never have before.
Performing with The Composer will be fans' first chance to see Davido perform tracks from his ‘Timeless’ album live.
Alongside this London show, Davido has also announced a homecoming event in Lagos.
