Written By : Isabel Schultze 

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.
