DAVIVO returns to music with TIMELESS: The Album

 DAVID ‘Davido’ Adeleke has completed his full return to the music scene after a social media post on Tuesday, March 21.

The 32-year-old father of two announced the completion of his hiatus on the scene, which was occasioned by the tragic death of his only son, Ifeanyi David Adeleke on October 31, 2022.

The singer announced his readiness to release his fourth music album on March 31, exactly five months after the passing away of his son.

In the social media post, he wrote, “There is a time for everything. A time to Grieve and a time to Heal. A time to Laugh and a time to Dance. A time to Speak & A time for Silence. Thank you to everyone out there for your love and that has held me down. My next album TIMELESS is here, March 31st.

“All the love and messages while I was away, the gifts sent, the concerts you all threw! I appreciate it all. Today, I want to remind you all that what is now Timeless, was once new. It’s time for new.”

Davido’s team describes the album ‘Timeless’ as a body of work that remains true to Davido’s core as an artist.

Timeless is “a body of work that goes beyond fashion and trends. It’s an authentic body of work that remains true to Davido’s core as an artist, using his music to bring joy to his fans across the world. The songs you hear today will be just as relevant tomorrow, that’s why it’s Timeless.”

In the same vein, Spotify is celebrating the new album with his selection of the genre’s most timeless tracks. As Davido returns to the arena with the announcement of the new album, Spotify is unveiling the Timeless Afro playlist to celebrate some of Afrobeats’ most classic and enduring records, as curated by the global star.

According to Spotify, Davido curated a playlist of Afrobeats tracks that he considers timeless. The Timeless Afro playlist, as it is called, contains some of the defining songs of the Afrobeats era, including hits by his peers, Wizkid, Tekno and Mr Eazi. The playlist also includes some of the most familiar classics from Afrobeats’ golden era, with songs by Sunny Neji, 2baba and Naeto C, as well as foundational tracks that have inspired multiple generations of Afrobeats acts including Fela Kuti’s Zombie.
