Afrobeats superstar Davido has officially announced the release date for his highly anticipated sixth studio album, ORIADÉ, revealing that the project will arrive on 31 July, a date that also marks the 15th anniversary of his music career.
The award-winning singer shared the exciting news with fans in a post on his social media pages on Monday, sparking anticipation among music lovers eager to hear his next body of work.
