The trailer, which features the African superstar on the set
of a TV interview, comes as fans anticipate the Afrobeats star’s fourth studio
album, which was announced for release on 31st March.
It will be Davido’s first sonic offering following a
five-month-long public hiatus and his first album since 2020’s ‘A Better Time’.
Released via Spotify’s social channels, the trailer sees
Davido answering questions about his new album, describing it simply in one
word; Timeless.
Nearby, a teleprompter rolls out the album’s
much-anticipated tracklist – and collaborations.
Davido’s team describes Timeless as “a body of work beyond
fashion and trends. It’s an authentic body of work that remains true to Davido’s
core as an artist, using his music to bring joy to his fans worldwide. The
songs you hear today will be as relevant tomorrow, so it’s TIMELESS.”
Star-studded Tracklist
The album is slated to feature 17 tracks, including the
previously released Champion Sound with Amapiano ambassador Focalistic.
It also boasts a roll-call of established international and
emerging local artists, keeping with Davido’s decade-spanning reputation as a
connector and c collaborator in Afrobeats and global music.
They include UK Grime legend Skepta, dancehall king Dexta
Daps, Grammy winner Angelique Kidjo and Nigerian hitmaker Asake.
Davido also uses the album to shine the spotlight on
emerging talent like Nigerian singers Logos olori and Fave, as well as the
exciting Nigerian folk band, The Cavemen and digital content creator, Morravey.
The trailer follows the Spotify-exclusive Timeless Afro, a
playlist featuring the most traditional Afrobeat songs as curated by Davido.
These initiatives support the singer’s return to the public
eye and are in keeping with Spotify’s long-running mission to support African
music and its creators.
