Elevated experiences celebrating the culture through dance and rhythm
Afrobeats heavyweight Davido is gearing up to deliver what might be his most personal project yet. The superstar has officially revealed the complete tracklist for his sixth studio album, Oriadé, set to arrive this Friday, July 31, 2026. The timing is significant—the 13-track project drops exactly 15 years after Davido first stepped into the professional music scene, making it a full-circle moment for the African music titan.
The album’s title carries deep cultural weight. Drawing from Yoruba language and tradition, Oriadé merges “ori” (meaning destiny) with “adé” (meaning crown), creating a powerful statement about fulfilled purpose and destiny crowned. According to those close to the project, this body of work represents Davido reconnecting with the raw, authentic sound that first put him on the map, while celebrating his journey of resilience and self-belief that catapulted him to global stardom.
Fans have already gotten a taste of Oriadé through two previously released singles: “I Know Who I Be” featuring JAZZWRLD and GL_Ceejay, alongside “Gimme Dat Ting” with NO11. The full tracklist reveals an impressive lineup of collaborators spanning continents—from Ghana’s Black Sherif to French-Malian sensation Aya Nakamura, American R&B artist Leon Thomas, and Nigerian favorites Mayorkun, Fola, and Llona. The 13 songs include “On The Road,” “Amazing Grace,” “Julie,” “Constantly,” “B4 B4,” “Already Falling,” “Tell Everybody,” “Yaya,” “Zanzibar,” “Guide,” and “My Light,” alongside the previously dropped tracks.
With this carefully curated mix of solo cuts and strategic features, Davido appears ready to remind the world why he remains one of Afrobeats’ most essential voices. Friday can’t come soon enough.
