Superstar Adeleke David, known as Davido has given African music more wins as his new album tops the charts in several countries.
In November of last year, Davido, took a break from the public eye to deal with the tragic loss of his three-year-old son, Ifeanyi. After being away for almost six months.
However, he only posted about his performance at the 2022 FIFA World Cup closing ceremony.
Meanwhile, the Afrobeats superstar released his highly anticipated fourth studio album, “TIMELESS” on the 31st of March, 2023 with seventeen tracks.
The 17-track album features appearances from Morravey, Musa Keys, Dexta Daps, Fave, The Cavemen., Angélique Kidjo, Skepta, Asake, Logos Olori, and Focalistic.
TIMELESS is currently No. 2 on the U.S. Apple Music Top Albums, making it the highest charting album by a Nigerian artist in U.S. Apple Music history and No. 1 in Uk.
It also peaked at No. 1 on Nigeria’s Apple Music Top Albums Chart, UK’s Apple Music Top Albums Chart, as well as in 17 other countries.
The album explores a mixture of Afrobeats, Amapiano, and dancehall.
Recently, in an interview, Davido told CNN: “On the album, you will hear a couple of songs that might take you back and into some emotions… you will definitely hear me talk about a couple of things I’ve been through personally.
“At some point, I couldn’t open my Instagram for weeks. One day, I just checked it and I saw messages from every kind of person in the world. I was like ‘you’re fine, you see everybody is rooting for you.’ That was one thing that really made me strong enough to stand up again, get back in the studio, and do what I love.”
