Davido Hits with Visuals for ‘Unavailable’

The ‘Unavailable’ video – Directed by Davido’s close collaborator Dammy Twitch is the official comeback for the Nigerian superstar, the visual is the first of a series coming from his chart-topping fourth studio album, “Timeless” and shows Davido back at his best.

It’s been a record-breaking launch for Davido & his new album ‘Timeless’ which was released just over a week ago. Davido’s ‘Timeless’ broke Apple Music streaming records and delivered the second-highest Billboard charting Nigerian album in history. The release also sees huge support across playlist covers and multiple U.S. & Global OOH sites! Other highlights include #1 Apple Music UK Album Chart and #1 Apple Music US Album Chart – the highest charting for a Nigerian artist in history. Davido’s New York Irving Plaza, London & KOKO Headline Shows sold out in 4 minutes!

‘TIMELESS’ sees Davido bring together the sounds that have shaped his 11-year career so far. While homing in on his Afrobeats foundations with tracks such as “Feel”, “Godfather” and “Precision”; childhood influences of R&B and Rap can be heard across “In The Garden Ft. Morravey”, “Bop Ft. Dexta Daps and “U (Juju) Ft. Skepta”; and with nods to Amapiano on “Unavailable Ft. Musa Keys” and hit single “Champion Sound Ft. Focalistic”. Other features across the 17-track project include Angelique Kidjo, Asake, The Cavemen and Logos Olori.

For the Platinum-selling, multi-award-winning star ‘TIMELESS’ is his first studio release since his critically acclaimed 2020 project ‘A Better Time’. Meanwhile, Davido has continued to deliver hit singles. 2021 saw star collaborations including his remix of Focalistic’s breakthrough Amapiano single “Ke Star”, as well as the Afrobeat anthem “High” with Adekunle Gold. 2022 was an even more momentous year with singles “WATAWI”, “Electricity” “Stand Strong (9+)” and Davido’s feature across the lead single from the FIFA Official World Cup Soundtrack, “Hayya Hayya (Better Together)”, which he performed at the closing ceremony. 

As part of a long-standing partnership, Martell Cognac says it is proud to support the iconic release of the ‘TIMELESS’ album and feature Martell Blue Swift in Davido’s first music video for ‘Unavailable’. For the Maison, Davido’s inspiring personality and resilience epitomize the House’s spirit of audacity and freedom.

Davido describes ‘TIMELESS’ as: “Timeless is a body of work that goes beyond fashion and trends it’s an authentic body of work that remains true to my core as an artist- using my music to bring joy to my fans across the world. The songs you hear today will be just as relevant tomorrow, that’s why it’s TIMELESS.”
