Afrobeats superstar Davido has officially unveiled his much-anticipated fifth studio album, 5ive, marking a monumental milestone in his storied music career. Released today, this new album is an intimate and introspective collection that reflects Davido’s personal and artistic evolution.
The title 5ive goes beyond being a reference to the number of albums he has now released; it symbolizes a journey of recovery, transformation, and emotional growth. Following a period of personal hardship, including the devastating loss of his son in 2022 and the joyous arrival of his twin children, Davido has poured his emotions into this project. Describing the album as “a symbol of hope, grace, change, and growth,” it showcases his resilience and maturity in the face of life’s trials.
Comprising 17 tracks, 5ive features an impressive range of collaborations with prominent artists from across the globe. International figures such as Chris Brown, Victoria Monét, Becky G, Shenseea, and YG Marley join forces with Nigerian stars like Omah Lay, Chike, Victony, and ODUMODUBLVCK, adding diverse flavors to the album’s eclectic sound.
Notable tracks include:
Davido revealed that more than 80 songs were initially recorded for 5ive, with only 17 ultimately making it to the final tracklist, selected with input from his loved ones. The result is a carefully crafted album that mixes Afrobeats, R&B, dancehall, and global sounds, creating a deeply emotional and intentional listening experience.
Within hours of its release, 5ive climbed to the top of Nigeria’s iTunes Albums chart and quickly gained momentum across global streaming platforms. Fans and critics alike have lauded the album’s production, emotional depth, and the maturity Davido exhibits through his lyrics and musical direction.
5ive is available now on all major streaming platforms, including Apple Music and Spotify, and is already being celebrated as one of the standout projects of Davido’s illustrious career.
