Davido Drops Tracklist for ‘Oriade’ Album Featuring Black Sherif, Aya Nakamura & More

The countdown to Davido’s sixth studio album just got real. The Nigerian megastar has pulled back the curtain on Oriade, revealing a 13-track project that reads like a who’s who of contemporary African music and beyond. With the album dropping this Friday, fans finally know what to expect from one of 2026’s most anticipated Afrobeats releases.

Oriade showcases Davido’s knack for curating heavyweight collaborations while maintaining his signature sound. The project features Ghana’s Black Sherif on “Amazing Grace,” French-Malian sensation Aya Nakamura on “Yaya,” and American R&B artist Leon Thomas on “Tell Everybody.” Nigerian talents also shine throughout, with Mayorkun and FOLA joining forces on “B4 B4,” while rising acts like Jazzwrld, GL_CEEJAY, NO11, and Llona round out the featured artist roster. The tracklist balances collaborative energy with solo moments, including “Julie,” “Constantly,” “Zanzibar,” and the closing track “My Light.”

The album’s title Oriade carries cultural weight, and Davido’s announcement came with a promise: “The kingdom expands. Featuring musical royalty from top to bottom.” Social media has been buzzing since the reveal, with fans debating which collaboration might steal the show. From the opening track “On the Road” to “Guide” and beyond, this project positions Davido at the center of a pan-African musical movement while reaching across borders to international collaborators. Physical CD pre-orders are already available for collectors wanting to own a piece of what’s shaping up to be another milestone in Davido’s legendary career.
