DAVIDO’S 5IVE ALBUM IS HERE.
Davido is back with a vengeance. On April 18, 2025, the Afrobeats titan dropped his fifth studio album, 5ive, and it’s already making waves in the global music scene.
This 17-track album is more than just a collection of songs—it's a statement of growth, versatility, and cultural dominance.
From start to finish, 5ive captures the essence of Davido’s journey, blending Nigerian roots with global influences in a way that only he can.
The Nigerian scene is well represented, with features from Omah Lay, Victony, OdumoduBlvck, and Chike, all contributing their unique sounds, particularly on tracks like Fund, which showcases the synergy between Davido and the rising stars of the industry.
But Davido is not just focused on the home front. He brings international collaborations into the mix with YG Marley on the soulful Awuke, Shensea and 450 adding Caribbean vibes, and a return collaboration with Chris Brown to continue their hit-making streak. Other global artists like Victoria Monét, Becky G, and Musa Keys elevate the album further, each adding their own flavor to the tracklist.
In a recent Clue Radio interview, Davido revealed that he had a hand in the album’s production, reconnecting with his roots as a producer. He also shared in a surprise Twitch session with Cruel Santino that the title 5ive has a personal significance, marking a milestone in his journey both professionally and personally.
Fans have already been treated to a few singles from the album, including the Amapiano-infused Be There Still, a track that’s quickly becoming a favorite across playlists.
If Timeless was a reminder of Davido’s place in the music world, 5ive is his next evolution—a deeper, more reflective album that shows his growth and places him even further into the global spotlight.
