Afrobeat singer, David Adeleke widely known as Davido has revealed how the success of his fourth studio album, ‘Timeless’ played a huge role in his healing process.
The singer who lost his son, Ifeanyi Adeleke in a drowning situation in his Banana Island home has opened up on how his ‘Timeless’ album success played instrumental role in his healing process.
The artist revealed this in a recent interview with Hot 107.9 FM in Atlanta, Georgia.
Davido confessed that it took him three months to muster the courage to begin recording songs for his upcoming album.
He stressed that the terrible tragedy of his son’s death at his home in Banana Island, Lagos State, in October 2022 had a negative impact on him.
In his words:
“It is a special album to me, you know what I’m saying. Of course, after taking a long break, just coming back to having people really m*ss with the music. You know, sometimes you do an album, you probably get like four or three on there that are like big singles…”
When asked how he is feeling now, the OBO crooner said, “It hasn’t been easy. I just thank God for being able to do my job, to sit here talk to you. There was a point that I felt I wouldn’t be able to do my job. So, I’m just happy I’m able to be creative again.
“The success of the album has been part of my healing process. After like three months [after Ifeanyi’s demise] I was able to work again. Shootouts to all the producers that came through.”
