Angelique Kidjo, the Beninese singer-songwriter, is set to release a new single titled ‘Joy’ featuring Davido.
In a social media post on Tuesday, the ‘Wombo Lombo’ hitmaker announced that the song will be released on August 28.
She also appreciated Davido for collaborating with her on the project, adding that “no one could have done better.
This song ‘Joy’ describes who I am. It is coming out this Friday. Thank you Davido for bringing your light, she wrote.
No one could have done it better. We hope this song brings the world together for a moment of joy.
I found the joy through all the pain. Through all the pain, I found the sun. Through all the rain.
The new project follows the success of their first collaborative song ‘Na Money.
Na Money,’ which also featured The Cavemen, was the third song off Davido’s 2023 album ‘Timeless’.
Kidjo is known for her diverse musical influences and creative music videos. She has won five Grammy Awards and is also the 2023 Polar Music Prize laureate.
The 64-year-old is regarded as one of the greatest singers in Africa. Aside from her incredible music career, Kidjo is an actress and activist.
Davido, on the other hand, has firmly established himself as one of the prominent artistes out of Africa. He has also won several awards.
