Rolling Stone Magazine Set Their Eyes On Davido, Say He May Become One Of The World’s Biggest Stars

Davido performed over the weekend at the South by Southwest (SXSW) music festival.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 22, (THEWILL) – The singer has undoubtedly catapulted to even bigger …thanks to his mouth-watering deal with Sony Music Global. Certainly his FADER cover and performance on the FADER Fort stage at the SXSW festival alongside 25 other artistes is proof of that.

Popular US magazine, Rolling Stone  had a few things to say about the superstar.

Read below:
“Ever since he hit with 2012's effusive “Dami Duro,” Davido has been one of Africa's biggest rising stars. Now that he's signed an international deal with Sony, it looks like he may become one of the world's biggest, too. To American ears, his sound seems to split the difference between dance music's uptempo beats, R&B melodies and hip-hop's effortless swag. Yet it's all incorporated through a sound that is distinctly African, with rhythms that prove to be more compulsively danceable than most things making waves on the Hot 100. His upcoming album Baddest — which he recently revealed to Fader will include a feature from rapper Future — will be a major test for African artists crossing over in the United States. But Davido is confident: “I know what kind of songs work. The music should have everything in it — Jamaican, African, American, everything.”
