Davido talks about his experience with The Samples, a Kanye West-owned choir band.
Nigerian superstar and Label boss, David Adeleke, better known by his stage as Davido, has discussed his time working with The Samples, a Kanye West-owned choir ensemble.
Davido said it was a unique experience for him to have The Samples provide vocals to Stand Strong.
The FEM singer explained how he met and collaborated with Kanye West’s Sunday Service Choir, called The Samples, during an appearance on Apple Music’s The Dotty Show.
According to Davido, he used to sing R&B as well as soul music before switching to the Afrobeats genre.
He said;
“Crazy man. Yeah, we were in Atlanta when he was having the release parties, and then from there I met Jason who works with Kanye, and then we just got in the studio and played them a couple of records, and obviously ‘Stand Strong’ is the one that fit them. And we flew out to L.A. and we shot the video. And hopefully, we got to perform a couple of shows with them.”

On how he felt working with the group, Davido said; “It was just a different feeling, a different kind of record. I wouldn’t say I’ve never done a record like that, but I don’t think I’ve ever released a record like that.
But funny enough, my earlier records, before Afro beats and stuff, that’s the kind of music I was geared to, like R&B, slow, soulful type stuff.”
‘Stand Strong‘ has received positive reception as it reveals Davido’s ability to experiment with new sounds and adopt a different approach to his music.
