Angélique Kidjo & Davido Team Up For JOY
Angélique Kidjo and Davido unite on Kidjo’s latest single, “JOY.” It is the second time that the singer and activist has collaborated with the Afrobeats star. They worked together on “NA MONEY” from Davido’s 2023 album, Timeless, and they shared the stage earlier this year at his 02 Arena show in London. “JOY” is Kidjo’s second collaboration this year. She previously released “Sunlight To My Soul,” which had Diane Warren and the Soweto Gospel Choir on the single. “JOY” happened when Kidjo and Davido came together in New York City over the summer, and they sang in English and Yoruba on the song. There is more to come from Kidjo musically, and she is embarking on a world tour that starts September 4th in Germany.
