Nigeria: Davido shares fifth studio album 5IVE

At the centre of the album is the standout single ‘Offa Me’, featuring Grammy-winning artist Victoria Monét. The energetic track, produced by Haitian DJ and record producer Michael Brun, effortlessly fuses Afrobeats, R&B, and soul, showcasing the pair’s natural chemistry. The accompanying music video, directed by KLVDR and filmed in Los Angeles, premiered today. It delivers a vibrant visual narrative featuring a dynamic dance sequence performed by both Monét and Davido.

“Offa Me came together so naturally, pure energy, pure music,” Davido said. “Victoria is such an incredible artist, and our sounds blended in a way that felt effortless. It’s that perfect mix of both our worlds – something sexy, but still makes you move.”

5IVE is a culturally rich album that explores a spectrum of sounds, from high-energy Afrobeats to smooth R&B, reggaeton, and dancehall. The album sees Davido embrace his global influence while remaining grounded in his African heritage. The project features an impressive roster of collaborators, including Chris Brown, Becky G, Omah Lay, Odumodublvck, Shenseea, Tayc, Dadju, YG Marley, and South African artist Musa Keys, among others.

“This 5IVE album? It means everything to me,” Davido shared. “It’s more than just a number – it’s a statement of where I stand, five albums in. Working with artists I admire from across the world was a blessing. Different sounds, different cultures – one vibe. This project reflects my growth, my journey, and who I am now, both as an artist and as a man.”

Following the massive success of his 2023 hit ‘Unavailable’ with Musa Keys, Davido continues to evolve his signature sound. The album includes ‘Titanium’, a new collaboration with long-time friend and collaborator Chris Brown, building on the success of their Grammy-nominated 2023 single Sensational.

To mark the release of 5IVE, Davido embarked on a five-city underplay tour, performing in Los Angeles, New York, Atlanta, Paris, and London. The intimate shows gave fans a rare, close-up experience of the new material. Joining him on stage during the North American leg were featured artists from the album including Victoria Monét, Shenseea, 450, and YG Marley.

This week, Davido arrived in the UK, performing an exclusive live show at London’s Exhibition on the eve of the album’s release. He also partnered with leading cultural platform Cultur.FM to host an immersive listening event attended by fans, influencers, celebrity guests, and industry figures.
