Nigerian Afrobeats star Davido has confirmed that his long-awaited joint album with American R&B singer Chris Brown will be released next year, reigniting excitement among fans across the globe.
The award-winning artiste made the revelation during a recent appearance on the Swift Conversations podcast hosted by Adesope Olajide, where he also spoke about the evolving direction of his music.
According to Davido, his upcoming projects will lean more heavily into African sounds, reflecting a deliberate shift back to his roots and original production style.
“The music I am making now is very African. In this next project, I am working with a lot of my original producers from back home,” he said.
Despite the renewed focus on Afrobeats, Davido noted that he remains open to global collaborations, citing his dual cultural influence as a factor.
“I am still an American, so definitely there’s going to be collaborations. Me and Chris Brown got an album coming next year,” he added.
The duo share a strong musical history, having first teamed up on the 2019 hit Blow My Mind. They have since collaborated on several tracks, including “Shopping Spree,” “Sensational,” and “Hmm,” building a cross-continental fan base.
Speculation about a joint album has been ongoing since Davido first teased the project in 2023. The latest confirmation now sets the stage for one of the most anticipated international collaborations in Afrobeats and R&B.
