Davido and Leon Thomas connect on the Afrobeats and R&B fusion track “Tell Everybody” from his sixth studio album ORIADÉ.
The collaboration lands as Track 9 on ORIADÉ, a 13-track project that marks a significant moment in Davido’s career spanning 15 years in music. Leon Thomas, a Grammy-winning American singer and producer, brings his refined vocal texture to the record, blending smoothly with Davido’s energetic melodic approach. The pairing reflects how African and international contemporary music continue to find common ground through artists willing to experiment across genres.
Davido, an American-born Nigerian artist who grew up in Lagos, has built his reputation on exactly this kind of cross-cultural work. He founded Davido Music Worldwide in 2016 and has spent years developing a sound that fuses West African beats with modern production. ORIADÉ positions “Tell Everybody” strategically after the solo record “Already Falling” and before “Yaya,” his collaboration with Aya Nakamura, creating a flow that showcases the album’s global reach.
The track itself is built on lush instrumentation and rhythmic percussion, leaning into emotional richness rather than pure club energy. Thomas’s soulful harmonies sit atop Davido’s vibrant delivery, creating something polished yet warm.
