Davido Ready To Returns to His Africa Roots With His New Sound

Afrobeat Singer, Davido has announced his plans to shift his focus back to his roots, marking a deliberate shift away from Western music influences.

Speaking on BBC 1Xtra, the Afrobeats star explained that after years of global success, he now feels fulfilled and ready to reconnect with the cultural roots that shaped his music.

Over the past decade, Davido has played a key role in taking Afrobeats to the world stage, collaborating with international artists and performing across major global venues. His success reflects the broader rise of Afrobeats, which has grown from a regional sound into a global phenomenon. However, this international expansion has also sparked conversations about balancing authenticity with crossover appeal.

His previous album 5ive already hinted at this transition, as it leaned more toward African identity and resonated strongly with local audiences.

With his upcoming sixth studio album, Davido appears to be going even further, embracing indigenous rhythms and cultural elements more fully. This move aligns with a growing trend among African artists who are choosing to highlight traditional sounds while still evolving creatively within modern music production.

Although no release date has been confirmed for the new music yet, but fans are already anticipating a fresh, unapologetically African chapter from the superstar.
