Davido reacts to the sudden buzz around series of his interview videos: "Why all of them dey drop now"

"Last summer, Afrobeats star Davido told Rolling Stone he had nearly finished his fourth album, his new era ushered in with a stirring gospel-tinged single on overcoming hardship. Then, after a lifetime of loss, he faced an unthinkable one — the death of his three-year-old son.

"Persevering through the grief and lifted by supporters, Davido redid the album entirely. The outcome is Timeless, miraculously unshrouded in despair. It pulses, swoons, and shakes, an emotive mix of defiant Amapiano, confident club anthems, jazzy Afrobeats, and sensual love songs. It’s a party — and it feels purposeful."
