The Cover Mix: Davido
Davido curates a playlist of tracks that kept him inspired in the studio while working on his new album ‘5ive’

“This playlist is a collection of sounds and vibes that have been heavy in my rotation while I was working on ‘5ive’. It’s a mix of Afrobeat roots, global influences, and some of the new energy I’ve been tapping into creatively, along with a few bangers from yours truly. From classic Naija sounds to amapiano bangers and even a few unexpected gems from the UK and Caribbean - these tracks kept me inspired in the studio, reminding me of who I am and where I’m going with this next chapter.
“With ‘5ive’, I wanted to push boundaries culturally but still keep it true to my essence. What I was listening to and the artist I was pulling from during that process represents a piece of that puzzle, whether it's the raw storytelling, the rhythm, or just the vibe – Enjoy.”
