Davido’s remarkable year shows no signs of slowing down as fans gear up for his highly anticipated first single of 2024. After several exciting guest features, the Nigerian megastar is finally set to drop a collaboration with Jamaican artist YG Marley, promising to end the year with a bang. As Davido wraps up his hectic year, this release will be his first solo offering of the year—a highly anticipated move after a string of successful collaborations.
Davido’s collaboration with YG Marley has been a talking point for months, with fans eagerly awaiting the fusion of Nigerian and Jamaican sounds. Known for his hit-making prowess, Davido has always embraced international collaborations, and teaming up with YG Marley only strengthens his ability to bridge global musical cultures. While the specific release date remains a mystery, the buzz surrounding the single is undeniable, especially since it follows Davido’s 2024 guest appearances on high-profile remixes.
The first half of 2024 saw Davido gracing the remix of Kizz Daniel’s ‘Twe Twe‘—a track that exploded on the airwaves—and later joining forces with BoyPee, Hyce, and Brown Joel on the remix of ‘Ogechi.’ Each of these guest spots showcased Davido’s versatility, adapting his sound to various artists and genres, keeping him at the forefront of Afrobeats while expanding his reach into other music scenes.
Among the more talked-about collaborations is Davido’s feature on Angelique Kidjo’s song ‘Joy,‘ which was recently submitted for Grammy consideration in the Best African Music Performance category. Being part of a project with a legend like Kidjo solidifies Davido’s place among the most influential African artists of this generation. His ability to blend with iconic voices like Kidjo while maintaining his unique flavor is just another reason why his artistry remains unmatched.
His most recent feature alongside the upcoming feature with YG Marley is his team up with UK-based Nigerian artist Darkoo for their infectious track ‘Right Now,’ released on October 11, 2024. The song blends R&B melodies with Afrobeats rhythms, creating an irresistible mid-tempo record that’s as sensual as it is catchy. Darkoo’s soft vocals intertwine with Davido’s signature swagger, resulting in a track that’s full of emotion and smooth vibes. Fans have been raving about the chemistry between the two, and the song has already become a fan favorite, further proving that Davido is in fine form even as a guest artist.
The track also features Jamaican star Rvssian, who adds his distinctive flair to the mix. Rvssian’s familiarity with Afrobeats shines through, as he previously collaborated with Grammy-nominated Nigerian singer Ayra Starr on his hit single ‘Santa.’ His presence on ‘Right Now’ adds a cross-cultural twist to the song, further showcasing how Afrobeats continues to resonate globally, with artists from different corners of the world coming together to create fresh sounds.
In addition to his work with Darkoo, Davido has kept fans buzzing with the news that he’s also collaborated with Nigerian superstar Omah Lay on a song that is expected to drop soon. The pairing of these two Afrobeats powerhouses has created a wave of excitement across the industry. While no release date has been announced yet, fans are already speculating about how the collaboration will sound, considering the distinct musical styles both artists bring to the table. Davido’s energetic flair and Omah Lay’s laid-back, smooth delivery seem like a perfect match for creating yet another hit.
Adding to the excitement, while appearing on American content creator Kai Cenat’s stream, Davido revealed that his next album is already completed. According to the singer, fans can expect more collaborations and a diverse mix of sounds, with Davido confidently stating that this could be his best album yet. Given the success of his record-breaking fourth album, Timeless, which dominated charts and set streaming records, the expectations are understandably high for his upcoming project.
Davido’s 2024 has been anything but quiet, and with more music on the way, the Nigerian superstar is proving once again why he remains one of the biggest names in African music. Whether as a guest artist or headlining his own tracks, Davido’s ability to consistently deliver has kept fans hooked, and his upcoming releases are sure to cap off an already impressive year with even more success.
