Davido unveils official tracklist and featured artists for Oriade

The wait is almost over. Davido has just dropped the official tracklist for Oriade, his sixth studio album, and the 13-track lineup is packed with heavyweight collaborations that span the African continent and beyond. With his signature blend of infectious rhythms and star-studded features, the Afrobeats titan is setting the stage for what could be one of his most ambitious projects to date.

Oriade showcases Davido’s ability to bridge cultures and sounds, featuring an eclectic mix of artists including Ghana’s Black Sherif, French-Malian sensation Aya Nakamura, American R&B artist Leon Thomas, and Nigerian favorites Mayorkun and Llona. The tracklist also introduces fans to rising talents like Jazzwrld, GL_CEEJAY, NO11, and FOLA, proving that Davido remains committed to elevating the next generation while maintaining his veteran status. From the album opener “On the Road” to the closer “My Light” featuring Llona, the project promises both solo showcases and dynamic collaborative energy that fans have come to expect from the OBO himself.

Social media erupted following the announcement, with fans dissecting each collaboration and debating which tracks will dominate the charts. Standout titles like “Amazing Grace” with Black Sherif, “Yaya” with Aya Nakamura, and the Mayorkun-assisted “B4 B4” have already sparked anticipation. The album’s title, Oriade, which means “crown has come” in Yoruba, signals Davido’s continued reign in the Afrobeats kingdom. With CD pre-orders now available and the full album dropping this Friday, the countdown is officially on for what might be the biggest Afrobeats release of the season.
