Davido - 5IVE

Written By : Isabel Schultze 


Nigerian singer, songwriter and producer Davido released his 5th studio album titled 5IVE on April 18th 2025. Containing 17 brand new songs, the project features artistes like American singers Chris Brown and Becky G. The 1 minute and 11 seconds long intro contains a speech by the Nigerian poetess Alhanislam praising the artiste and his new songs with words resonating freedom and conquest saying,  “Five is freedom, unbound by borders Rising by lifting others The artiste, the father; the man walking two worlds.“ The artiste claims that his album is a sort of victory not only for him but also for African music in general saying that it represents “a new chapter of personal growth and global connection”

 

Davido goes on to acknowledge and proclaim the heights the Afrobeats genre has reached and how far the culture and the music has spread. Building on his last album TIMELESS which was released in 2023 the artiste added fusions of Latin American and Caribbean styles but kept the base of afrobeats expressing his love for connecting other cultures with his own.

 

The first song ANYTHING is an uplifting song that is supposed to make you get up and do something while accentuating his longevity and lasting impact, now and in the future.

 

One of his new featured songs AWUKE (ft. YG Marley) combines love for his culture with another. He expressed his excitement about the creation process of the song, especially since it brought YG Marley to Nigeria for the first time.

 

On this album, he also extends his run of collaborations with Chris Brown dating back to earlier released albums, with the song TITANIUM showing how well the two musicians work together with a bond that’s according to Davido, almost brotherly.
