Timeless (Davido album)
Timeless is the fourth studio album by Nigerian singer Davido. It was released on 31 March 2023, via Davido Music Worldwide, Columbia Records, and Sony Music Entertainment. Primarily an amapiano record, the album explores other musical styles such as Afrobeats, dancehall, ragga, konto, highlife, and Afropop. Timeless comprises 17 tracks and features collaborations with Skepta, Angelique Kidjo, Asake, Focalistic, and The Cavemen, among others. Its production was handled by Magicsticks, Ragee, Darmie, Blaisebeatz, 1da Banton, Caltonic SA, and Young Alpha, among others. The album was supported by the singles "Champion Sound" and "Unavailable". Timeless received generally positive reviews from music critics, who praised its production and considered it to be one of Davido's most accomplished albums yet. In July 2023, Davido embarked on the Timeless North American Tour to support the album.
Timeless was nominated for Best Global Music Album at the 66th Annual Grammy Awards.
In June 2022, Davido told Rolling Stone magazine that Timeless was nearly complete. In November, he took a break from social media to grieve the death of his three-year-old son. On 21 March 2023, he announced on Instagram that the album would be released on March 31. The announcement marked his return to social media. Prior to making the announcement, he briefly broke his social media hiatus when he performed at the 2022 FIFA World Cup final. On 29 March 2023, Davido revealed the album's track list and announced the signings of singers Morravey and Logos Olori to DMW.
Timeless marked Davido's first album in three years. He told CNN that the album's title, which record producer Don Jazzy suggested to him, is a manifestation of his goal for the album to be remembered as a classic for decades. He also told the news channel that the album went through three different phases before its final version. Comprising 17 tracks, the album features collaborations with Skepta, Angelique Kidjo, Asake, Focalistic, The Cavemen, Fave, Musa Keys, Dexta Daps, Morravey, and Logos Olori. Its production was handled by Magicsticks, Rage, Darmie, Blaisebeatz, 1da Banton, Caltonic SA, and Young Alpha, among others. The album's cover art features an image of Davido's head, two enclosed elephants, and a pathway that leads to a large hourglass. In an interview with Hot 97, Davido described the album as a "miracle album" and said he recorded 62 tracks for the project.
Davido released a theatrical trailer after announcing the album's release date on Instagram; the trailer is composed of tour footage. In it, he is seen writing out a note under his own narration. The trailer also features shots of him seated at an office desk, along with various performance and behind-the-scenes clips. Davido drew inspiration from the book of Ecclesiastes, saying, "There is a time for everything, a time to grieve and a time to heal, a time to laugh and a time to dance. A time to speak, and a time for silence". In anticipation of the album's arrival, Davido teamed up with Spotify to curate a playlist of Afrobeats tracks he considers timeless. Called the "Timeless Afro Playlist", it features tracks by artists such as Wizkid, Tekno and Mr Eazi.
Davido held three concerts in April 2023 to celebrate the album's release. The concerts were held at the Irving Plaza, Koko, and Tafawa Balewa Square, respectively. On April 4, Davido performed a medley of "Feel" and "Unavailable" on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert; he shared the stage with several drummers and The Compozers, a four-man vocal group. On 7 April, he discussed the creative process behind each song on the album while guest hosting Apple Music's Africa Now Radio. In support of the album, the radio station The Beat 99.9 FM launched an album campaign and temporarily changed its name to Timeless 99.9 FM.
On 24 April 2023, Davido announced the Timeless North American Tour to support the album. Scheduled to hold for two weeks, the tour commenced on 1 July, at the Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C., and concluded on 15 July, at the Budweiser Stage in Toronto, Canada. The tour was produced by Live Nation Urban and Duke Concept and included additional stops in Houston and Chicago. On 23 November 2023, Davido headlined the A.W.A.Y. Festival, which was postponed in the wake of his son's death. The Focalistic-assisted track "Champion Sound" was released on 19 November 2021, as the album's lead single. Considered an amapiano record, the song was jointly produced by Caltonic SA and Tee Jay. The music video for "Champion Sound" was filmed in London by Dalia Dias. Davido and Focalistic previously worked together on the remix of the latter's song "Ke Star".
The album's second single, "Unavailable", was released on 11 April 2023, along with its music video. The song features vocals by South African singer Musa Keys and was produced by Magicsticks. On the day of the album's release, Davido revealed a TikTok dance challenge, which has amassed over 600,000 posts. The accompanying music video for "Unavailable", which was directed by Dammy Twitch, features vivid images of huts, woodlands, and Davido's kind demeanor.
