Davido's fifth studio album will feature the new single "Funds," a collaboration with rapper Odumodublvck and vocalist Chike. Produced by Ucee, a frequent Odumodublvck collaborator, the track incorporates a sample from Brenda Fassie's renowned South African hit, "Vulindela."
"Funds" is an upbeat track characterized by vibrant highlife guitar riffs and the rhythmic log drums that defined last year's album, Timeless. The song features a mix of English and Pidgin, showcasing Davido’s trademark confidence as he boasts about his wealth and his commitment to providing for the woman who has won his heart—could that be Chioma?
Musically, "Funds" blends Afrobeats, hip-hop, and R&B, with each artist delivering their best. Davido’s distinctive vocals and dynamic flow, combined with Odumodublvck’s raw energy and Chike’s soulful melodies, create an exceptional listening experience.
The collaboration with Odumodublvck and Chike infuses a unique highlife essence into the track, positioning it as one of the standout songs to anticipate this festive season and into the next year.
"Funds" follows the release of Davido’s late October single "Awuke" featuring YG Marley. Both tracks are sure to receive significant airplay during this year’s Detty December festivities, paving the way for an early-year album launch that could make 2025 another remarkable year for the Assurance hitmaker.
This visually compelling work showcases the unique styles and collaborative synergy of the three artists. The vibrant color palette, polished choreography, and captivating narrative combine to create a superior cinematic experience.
With its memorable rhythm, impactful lyrics, and captivating music video, "Funds" is poised to become one of the year's most successful releases. This launch represents a significant career milestone for the three collaborating artists and is projected to further solidify their leading positions within the Nigerian music industry.
In the pre-launch period, Davido and Odumodu employed a strategic social media campaign featuring the Belgian flag, the purpose of which is now evident. The highly anticipated video, released last week, has already generated significant social media engagement, with fans and music critics praising the trio's dynamic performance.
