Nigerian music superstar Davido is back with a bang, releasing his first single of 2024, “Awuke,” featuring Jamaican artist YG Marley. Dropped on October 31, this track kicks off Davido’s next musical chapter, following the massive success of his Timeless era.
“Awuke,” co-written by rising star Moonlight Afriqa and produced by Mikakabeatz and Marvey Muzique, blends the vibrant Amapiano sound with Davido and YG Marley’s smooth vocals celebrating stunning love interests. Accompanied by a visually striking music video shot in Lagos by top director Daps, the single sets the tone for Davido’s upcoming album.
After his record-breaking fourth album Timeless earned him three Grammy nominations, Davido is building excitement for his fifth album, also set for release in 2024. Fans are eagerly awaiting more collaborations, with Omah Lay recently hinting at a new track with Davido, likely to land before the full album drops.
With Awuke, Davido continues to elevate Afrobeats, creating buzz as he hypes up what he calls his “best album yet.” Get ready, because Davido’s latest musical chapter has only just begun!
