December 07, (THEWILL) – Nigerian Afrobeats singer, David Adedeji Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has his album, ‘Timeless,’ featured on Billboard’s ‘Top 50 Best Albums of 2023 List.’
‘Timeless,’ the singer’s comeback album after a hiatus, secured the thirty-ninth spot on the prestigious chart.
The lineup also featured notable albums such as Drake’s ‘For All the Dogs,’ Metro Boomin’s ‘Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse,’ Lil Yachty’s ‘Let’s Start Here,’ Doja Cat’s ‘Scarlet,’ and many others.
Launched in March 2023, the album earned three nominations for the 2024 Grammy Awards. These include Best Global Album for ‘Timeless,’ alongside nominations for Best African Performance with the track ‘Unavailable’ and Best Global Music Performance with the song ‘Feel.’
Dan Rys, a renowned music publication, journalist and contributor to Billboard, stated: “Before all the accolades — the Grammy nominations, the Headies Awards, the festival slots and the international tours — there was the music, and what Davido achieves on ‘Timeless’ truly lives up to his acclaim.
“Whether it’s joyous love songs like ‘In the Garden’ with Morravey, amapiano duets like the Asake-assisted ‘No Competition,’ driving dance hits like ‘Kante’ with Fave or Highlife odes to luxury like ‘Na Money’ with The Cavemen and Angélique Kidjo — not to mention the crown jewel of the project, the Musa Keys collab ‘Unavailable’ — Davido delivered one of the best bodies of work from this past year, and certainly the best of his career.
“Simply put, ‘Timeless’ is a triumph, and a landmark album in the global explosion of Afrobeats.”
