The Afrobeats star’s feature run will continue in 2024.
Nigerian superstar musician David Adeleke, often known as Davido, has announced a collaboration with the legendary Beninese-French singer-songwriter Angelique Kidjo.
The 30BG frontman hasn’t released a single since his fourth studio album Timeless in March 2023, but he’s been on a feature run since then, with four features already this year, including fan favorites like Twe Twe (Rmx) with Kizz Daniel and Ogechi (Rmx) with Boypee, Hyce, and Brown Joel.
After working together on the Timeless album with Kidjo on Na Money, as well as the highlife duet The Cavemen, Davido and Kidjo have decided to treat their fans to another collaboration, “Joy,” created by renowned music producer and Davido’s long-time buddy Shizzi.
Both parties announced the song via social media on Monday, August 26th, 2024, with a release date of Friday, August 30th, 2024. According to them, the song “Joy” is a unique record that holds special meaning for them. Davido writes:
It was an honor working with the legend @angeliquekidjo on JOY
Dropping Friday.
Emphasising how joyful the collaboration is for her, Angelique Kidjo, via her Instagram page wrote:
This song JOY is who I am!
It is coming out this Friday.
Thank you @davido for bringing your LIGHT! No one could have done it better
We hope this song can bring the world together for a moment of JOY!
The song promises to be another thrilling collaboration, blending Davido’s Afrobeats prowess with Kidjo’s traditional world music feel just like their previous song.
