    To prepare fans for the album’s arrival, The 30BG boss has curated a playlist of Afrobeats tracks that he considers timeless.

    Some of the most iconic Afrobeats songs can be found on the “Timeless Afro playlist,” which also includes hits by Wizkid, Tekno, and Mr. Eazi, three of his colleagues.

    The playlist also includes some of the most well-known classics from the heyday of Afrobeats, including songs by Sunny Neji, 2baba, and Naeto C, as well as classics like Fela Kuti’s “Zombie” that served as inspiration for many subsequent generations of Afrobeats artists.

Afropop wunderkind who made his name known with international hit songs has evolved into a singer and label head over the course of around ten years.

    The album announcement makes good on Davido’s promise to ‘see his fans in March’ and there’s a feeling that it’ll be well worth the wait. Davido’s team describes Timeless as “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.”
