The majority of the songs on Davido’s upcoming sixth album, “ORIADÉ,” were recorded at home with his wife and kids, he disclosed.
The album will be released on July 31, which is also Davido’s 15th anniversary as a musician.
The 33-year-old artist, whose real name is David Adeleke, stated in an interview with Capital Xtra that the home environment necessitated a more subdued, personal creative approach.
Davido mentioned that the album’s approach was also influenced by creative sessions during a two-week stay at Coachella and that producers travelled from overseas to work directly with him.
According to him, the new piece reflects his current state of purpose and thankfulness.
“I recorded most of this album in my house. It was different for me because I am used to recording in the studio outside with my boys with me, alcohol and doing all that,” he said.

“I live with my kids and wife now. I have to record at a low volume. I can only record mainly when they go out—that kind of experience of being with family. Obviously, because my family is there, I cannot have 100 people at the house.
“I had producers flying in to work with me personally. I enjoyed working with them one-on-one. Rather than having loads of people in your ears. That is one thing I enjoyed about this album.”
‘ORIADÉ’ is led by the single ‘I Know Who I Be,‘ released June 26. It follows his 2025 album ‘5ive’.
Since his breakout with ‘Dami Duro,’ the second single from his debut album ‘Omo Baba Olowo,’ in 2012, Davido has released four other albums, including ‘A Good Time’ (2019), ‘A Better Time‘ (2020), ‘Timeless’ (2023) and ‘5ive’ (2025).
He also founded the record label DMW in 2016.
