Afrobeats superstar Davido has announced July 31 as the release date for his sixth studio album, ‘ORIADÉ’.
The singer made the announcement in a social media post on Monday, unveiling the project as he marks 15 years in the music industry.
The album title, ‘ORIADÉ’, is drawn from two Yoruba words: “ori”, meaning head or destiny, and “adé”, meaning crown.
Davido, born David Adeleke, said the project reflects a new phase of gratitude, reflection and purpose in his career.
The singer has not yet released the full tracklist or announced the featured artistes expected on the album.
