Afrobeats global sensation Davido is making waves once again with the release of his highly anticipated fifth studio album, 5IVE. With 17 electrifying tracks that effortlessly fuse a variety of sounds, Davido proves why he’s one of the most influential and multifaceted artists of his generation. If you thought he was at his peak, think again—5IVE is next-level.
At the heart of this dynamic album lies the standout track, “Offa Me,” a vibrant collaboration with none other than Grammy-winning artist Victoria Monét. Produced by Haitian DJ and record producer Michael Brun, the track is an upbeat, genre-blending masterpiece that combines Afrobeats, R&B, and soul into a groove so infectious, you’ll be hitting repeat for days. But the magic doesn’t stop at the music—the accompanying music video, directed by KLVDR, premieres today. Shot in sunny Los Angeles, it features a stunning visual narrative and an infectious dance routine from Victoria Monét and Davido himself.
Davido spoke about the track, saying, “Offa Me came together so naturally—pure energy, pure music. Victoria is such an incredible artist, and our sounds blended in a way that felt effortless. It’s that perfect mix of both our worlds, something sexy but still makes you move.”
5IVE: A Global Fusion of Sounds and Cultures
This album is a cultural fusion in every sense of the word. With 5IVE, Davido effortlessly explores everything from high-energy Afrobeats to smooth R&B, Reggaeton, Dancehall, and beyond. The result? A versatile project that appeals to listeners from all walks of life, while still paying homage to his African roots. It’s a perfect example of how Davido continues to evolve while staying grounded in his heritage.
The album also boasts an impressive roster of features, including Chris Brown, Becky G, Omah Lay, Odumodublvck, Shenseea, Tayc, Dadju, YG Marley, and South Africa’s very own Musa Keys. Together, they make 5IVE a sonic tour de force—a global celebration of collaboration and unity across cultures.
Reflecting on the album, Davido said, “This 5IVE album? Man, it means everything to me. It’s more than just a number—it’s a statement of where I stand, five albums in. Getting to work with artists that I love and respect from all over the world on this project was a blessing. Different sounds, different cultures, but one vibe! This one right here shows my growth, my journey, and where I am now in my life and my artistry.”
