Can Davido’s use Angelique Kidjo to earn the Grammy that has eluded him?

Davido, a musical sensation from Nigeria, could be more anxious about winning the Grammy Award the next year than anything else.

Blessed with all the good things in life, including reaching international success in his business, Davido is undoubtedly aiming for the largest music prize in the world.

The “Timeless” singer received three nominations for the previous edition in three different categories: Best Global Music Album, Best African Music Performance, and Best Global Music Performance.

Fans had high hopes for Davido, but he failed them when he came home.

Nevertheless, if Davido’s most recent project with renowned Beninese vocalist Angelique Kidjo is any indication, he might get the opportunity to kiss the Grammy trophy.

She extended her gratitude to Davido and hopes that the song can bring the world together for a moment of joy. Davido equally acknowledged the collaboration, as he took to his Instagram page to express his gratitude for working with the iconic songstress.

“It was an honor working with the legend @angeliquekidjo on ‘Joy,’ he wrote on IG.

Meanwhile, like Kidjo’s previous award-winning songs, “Joy’ will not be an exception. The seductive single, written, performed, and produced by Angélique Kidjo in Ghana is another icing on the cake.

Music pundits described the collaboration as ‘a unique musical experience, combining Davido’s energetic Afrobeats style with Kidjo’s rich and soulful world music.

“Joy” is not their first collaborative effort, as they had previously worked together on ‘Na Money’, which was widely praised for its infectious rhythm and cultural significance. With “Joy” dropping yesterday, it signalled another groundbreaking collaboration that showcases the power of cultural exchange and musical innovation.

The song’s message of strength, joy and unity, as expressed by Kidjo, is sure to resonate with listeners around the world.

Being global artists, Davido and Angelique Kidjo have continued to push the boundaries of African music, offering a fresh and exciting sound that celebrates their shared heritage and passion for music. And nothing short of winning a Grammy next year is the expectation of everyone.
