Davido has released his sixth studio album, ORIADÉ, via Sony Music UK and RCA Records. The project, which dropped on Saturday, August 1, 2026, features collaborations with Leon Thomas, Black Sherif, and Aya Nakumara.
The 5x Grammy-nominated artist, who has spent 15 years in the music industry, continues to expand his global footprint with this new body of work. ORIADÉ arrives as fans eagerly consume new music from the Afrobeats scene, following recent releases like CKay's upcoming third album and Kojo Blak's afro-fusion anthem.
This album marks a significant moment for Davido, reinforcing his status as a leading figure in the genre. With a mix of established and emerging talents, ORIADÉ is poised to make waves both locally and internationally.
Why this matters
Davido's latest release underscores the continued global rise of Afrobeats, a trend also seen with Afrobeats stars shining at the 2026 World Cup opening ceremony. As one of the genre's pioneers, his new music is a major event for fans and the industry alike.
