Timeless album: Davido reveals the mastermind behind his album name
David Adeleke, better known as Davido, has revealed how he came up with the name ‘Timeless’ for his latest album.
According to him, the title of his fourth studio album was suggested by ace music producer Michael “Don Jazzy” Ajereh.
He explained that Jazzy entered his DM about a year ago and made the recommendation, which he followed.
The DMW boss made the revelation while answering questions about his latest music project in an interview.
Davido said he almost chose a different album name but eventually settled for ‘Timeless’, as suggested by the Mavin boss. Davido said:
“Funny enough, Jazzy actually DMed me like a year ago and suggested that I named my album Timeless. In the end I changed it like two months ago and changed it back.”
Recall that Davido finally dropped his much-anticipated ‘Timeless’, album on March 31, after a 5-month hiatus following the death of his son, Ifeanyi Adeleke jnr.
The 17-track album features guest appearances from Grammy award-winning Beninese singer, Angelique Kidjo, British rapper, Skepta, Asake, Fave, Cavemen, and DMW’s latest signees; Morravey and Logos Olori.
